Megan Raschig

Megan's research explores emergent forms of activism at the interstices of state disavowal and philanthropic health governance, primarily among persistently criminalized Mexican-American populations. Focusing on the politics of spiritual healing during what is sometimes called ‘the new Civil Rights’ era, she seeks out the less-legible horizons of political struggle and aims to rethink forms of historical consciousness and social change. Megan hails from Toronto, Canada, and completed her PhD at the University of Amsterdam, Department of Anthropology. She is a member of healing collectives La Colectiva de Mujeres and MILPA, both based in Salinas, California.
