About the Guest

Katherine Fox is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Southern Oregon University in Ashland, OR, where she teaches for the Sociology & Anthropology, Healthcare Administration, and Gender, Sexuality, & Women’s Studies programs.  Prior to moving to Oregon, she taught anthropology and global health classes at Texas Christian University and Baylor University.  Her research explores the cultural and social influences on health decision-making, as well as the ways that gender, ethnicity, and immigration intersect with health behavior.  Her most recent work includes help-seeking among LGBTQ+ asylum seekers, COVID-19 health decision-making, and a community health assessment for local public health entities in Oregon.  Because so much of her own work is interdisciplinary, she uses her classes to cultivate students’ analytical and communication skills in ways that are applicable in a variety of settings.
