Christina Douglas

Cristina is a medical anthropologist working towards her PhD at the University of Aberdeen. Her PhD research project explores the relationships between people living with dementia in Scottish care facilities and therapy-animals (dogs and owls). Currently, she is working with Dr Andrew Whitehouse as editors of a collective volume about the entanglements between ageing and more-than-human companionship (to be published at Rutgers University Press). In her spear time, she loves embroidering, gardening, and wandering through the forests with her furry companion Bruce. Her research has been funded by Parkes Foundation and Elphinstone Scholarship (University of Aberdeen).
