Sarah Spellman is a medical anthropologist and qualitative health researcher with a background in academic medical sciences funding and the non-profit world. She is a research officer at Imperial College London’s Centre for Psychedelic Research, currently working on a trial of DMT for major depressive disorder. Sarah is interested in placing experiences of health and wellness within relational contexts, including exploring how interpersonal dynamics and systemic forces intersect with socially situated notions of healing and sickness. She has led research into vaccine mandates at the University of Oxford’s Ethox Centre and recently completed an MPhil in medical anthropology, also at Oxford, during which she carried out interviews with those designing and staffing psychedelics clinical trials.
