PhD: Transient Labours, Anthropochory Subjects: Crime, Homelessness and Justice in Scotland's Green Health Inclusion Services

I am a PhD Candidate in medical anthropology investigating emergent Green Health programming in Scotland for folks experiencing intersecting forms of social marginalisation, including homelessness or precarious housing, diagnosis and treatment for mental illness and/or disability, substance-use issues, and/or criminal convictions. Funded by the Wenner-Gren Foundation, I explore ethnographically the ways in which greenspace configures a politics of care proximate to the NHS Scotland and its partner services. I am interested in how Green Health entangles daily experiences of access, violence, and labour in health and social care, complicating what it means for individuals and governance to speculate 'good' and 'better' care in Scotland during UK austerity.
