Carole H. Browner is a medical anthropologist with additional training in public health. She joined the UCLA School of Medicine Faculty in 1983 in the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences and has been a full professor since 1993, as well as a professor in the Department of Anthropology since 1987. Professor Browner also served on the faculty of Wayne State University, Universitat Rovira I Virgil (Tarragona, Spain) and Columbia University. She earned her bachelor's degree from the New School for Social Research and a Master's and doctorate in anthropology from UC-Berkeley, and a Master's degree in Public Health from the same institution. Her work has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Agency for Health Care Policy Research, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as by a number of private foundations.
She has been a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee for the State of California's Birth Defects Monitoring Program and serves on the Executive or Advisory Boards of several University of California institutes including UC MEXUS, the Institute for American Cultures, the Institute for Development Studies, Latin American Center, and the Center for the Study of Women. She serves as consultant on a wide variety of research projects on womenA?s and Latino health issues in southern California, on the U. S. Mexican border, and in Mexico. Her research interests lie at the intersection of gender, reproduction, and health. In Cali, Colombia she investigated the circumstances that led pregnant women with unintended conceptions to seek illegal abortion. In rural Mexico, she sought to understand how local political relations shape gender-based reproductive strategies. Since 1989, she has worked in the U. S. on issues surrounding the medicalization of pregnancy and prenatal care, particularly the impact of genetic information on reproductive experience.
