Anni Damgaard teaches university sociology. She began her working career as a medical technologist, and soon recognized the "body-mind" connection in the development of illness. To better understand this phenomenon, she pursued graduate work in psychology. Anni's interest then expanded to include the role that culture plays in health and well-being, which led her to a doctoral degree in sociology. Anni asks: What can we do to help understand ourselves and improve our lives?

Anni enjoys walking, biking, good food, and good company.
