Temp Course Instructor, Harvard Medical School

Lindsey Marten Zeve received her PhD in social anthropology from Harvard University in 2019. Her research focuses on the social determinants of public health science in relation to non-communicable disease epidemiology in Hong Kong and Guangzhou, China. Her interests lie at the intersection of postcolonial technoscience, aging and elderhood, and health equity. As a lecturer at GHSM, she works closely with senior faculty to develop social medicine curricula and programming and teaches related subjects at HMS and FAS. She is currently working on several writing projects, including an article adapted from her dissertation as well as one on the history of social medicine viewed through a biopolitical lens. She lives in Jamaica Plain with her husband and two dogs, and prefers to go by her childhood nickname, "Marty."
