Dr Paola Tiné is an anthropologist with expertise in visual research methods, medical anthropology, social change and domestic relations.

I am a social researcher with multidisciplinary expertise in socio-cultural anthropology, public health, and visual methodologies. I hold a BA and MA in Anthropology from the University of Siena (Italy); MA degrees in Social Neurosciences (Isabel I de Castilla) and in the Fine Arts (UCA London); and a PhD in Social Anthropology from the University of Adelaide. Over the past ten years, I have been researching psychophysical well-being and distress from a social and relational perspective. I have explored these topics ethnographically through long-term field research in Australia, Nepal, and Italy. My doctoral work investigated family moralities in a climate of accelerated social change in Nepal. For this project, visual methodologies (particularly drawing and painting) were an essential analytical tool to examine personal narratives of moral self-making. For an updated art page see: https://www.paola-ts.com/
