Anthropology

Summer Wood is currently a PhD candidate in the Department of Anthropology at New York University. Her dissertation research explores the medical, legal, cultural and historical dimensions of birth registration of children in Tanzania, using a combination of ethnographic, historical, and survey research methods. Birth registration is a serious but understudied human rights and public health issue, as more than 40 percent of children born each year lack a birth certificate, which contributes to numerous negative legal, medical, social and economic outcomes.

Prior to beginning her PhD studies, Summer earned graduate degrees in public health and women’s studies at the University of Michigan, and has previously worked on research projects and development projects in both the U.S. and Tanzania, in the fields of women’s and children’s health, reproductive health, HIV/AIDS treatment, and migrant worker health.
