Jessica Borsellino,

I am a 2023-2024 American Dissertation Fellow with the American Association of University Women and a PhD Candidate studying health and healing in the modern world. My dissertation, "Medicine for Generations: Healing Work in Kiowa Communities, 1867-1934," argues that Kiowas, members of a Great Plains tribal nation, used both Indigenous and Western healing practices to sustain and reconstitute their communities through this era of settler occupation. My primary advisor is Margaret Humphreys.
