Congratulations to Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. Anne Napatalung

UC Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. Anne Napatalung has accepted a position as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Feminist Studies at UC Santa Barbara. She earned her Ph.D. in Feminist Studies and Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at UC Santa Cruz and her research traces the suppression and solidarities of Black and Indigenous midwives in relation to the formation of modern medicine. Anne’s current book project frames the Tuskegee School of Midwifery (1941-1946) as a site entangled in local, national, and transnational circuits of knowledge. She is deeply grateful for the wisdom, generosity, and support of her mentor, Dr. Robin D.G. Kelley, and the many other people who have shaped her time at UCLA.
