Anna Katharina Münch

Anna is a cultural anthropologist, researcher, writer, and visual artist whose work centres on nomadic Tuareg communities in Mali’s Azawad and the wider Sahel. She spent three years living and working among Kel Alhafra communities. Her interdisciplinary doctoral research at the University of Bern and Swiss TPH combined anthropological, linguistic, and epidemiological methods to examine how Islamic belief, embodied knowledge, political marginalisation, and access to medical systems shape health, illness, and care—particularly in the lives of women and children.

Her monograph Nomadic Women’s Health Practice: Islamic Belief and Medical Care among Kel Alhafra Tuareg in Mali grew from this fieldwork. She later held research positions at Princeton University and the University of Florida’s Emerging Pathogens Institute. Her visual art explores relationships among landscape, memory, animals, plants, and cultural inheritance.
