Nancy Rose Hunt’s work focuses on the history and anthropology of medicine in Africa, with increasing attention to subaltern and health politics on a global scale. "A Nervous State: Violence, Remedies, and Reverie in Colonial Congo" considers imperial violence in colonial Congo and its consequences. Her current projects consider madness and comparative imperial approaches to psychiatry in Africa; she also is focused on African children’s drawings, their history, collectors and uses.
