Marcia C. Inhorn (PhD, University of California, Berkeley, 1991; MPH,
University of California, Berkeley, 1988) is the William K. Lanman Jr.
Professor of Anthropology and International Affairs and Chair of the
Coucil on Middle East Studies in the MacMillan Center for International
and Area Studies at Yale. Inhorn's research interests revolve around
science and technology studies (STS), gender and feminist theory
(including masculinity studies), religion and bioethics, globalization
and global health, cultures of biomedicine and ethnomedicine, stigma and
human suffering.

As a Middle Eastern scholar, Inhorn has been a visiting professor at the
American University of Beirut, Lebanon, and the American University of
Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. With research support from Fulbright-Hays
and the National Science Foundation, she has been at work on two related
research projects, "Middle Eastern Masculinities in the Age of New
Reproductive Technologies" and "Globalization and Reproductive Tourism
in the Arab World." Currently, she is writing a book entitled
Reconceiving Middle Eastern Manhood: Islam, Assisted Reproduction, and
Modern Masculinities, which serves as an ethnographic challenge to
received wisdoms and neo-orientalist stereotypes in a post-9/11 world.

Inhorn is the founding editor of JMEWS (Journal of Middle East Women's
Studies), the professional journal of the Association of Middle East
Women's Studies (Middle East Studies Association); associate editor of
