Annika Doneghy is a dual degree student at Case Western Reserve University. She is working towards a PhD in medical anthropology and a Master of Public Health concentrated in health policy and management. Her research uses an ethnographic approach to uncover firsthand narratives and experiences of individuals with disabilities and other health conditions as they navigate ongoing cycles of disaster and recovery. Her research reconceptualizes disability and recovery to consider wide-ranging human ability and diversity in disaster contexts, showing that many people with disabilities and other health conditions have different definitions and perspectives of recovery when compared to governmental and non-governmental organizations. She aims to illustrate how traditional disaster practice and policy often fail to recognize these diverse and challenging experiences due to lack of inclusion and disability expertise. Doneghy received a Master of Arts from the University of Kentucky and a Bachelor of Science from Ohio State University.
