Dr. Sanaullah Khan serves as an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Hunter College's School of Arts and Sciences, with his appointment commencing in Fall 2025. His academic journey culminated with a PhD in Anthropology and Graduate Certificate in Global Health from Johns Hopkins University, establishing his foundation in medical anthropology and global health studies.
Dr. Khan's research program explores healing under conditions of inequality, war, and conflict, with particular expertise in Pakistan's militarized contexts and urban US settings. His work bridges psychological anthropology, medical humanities, and security studies, examining medical efficacy and varying epistemologies of illness across globalized and displaced populations. He has conducted fieldwork in Pakistan, Baltimore, Akron, and Cleveland, investigating health inequities, substance use, policing, and recovery systems.
His scholarly output demonstrates consistent engagement with the intersections of military medicine, religious epistemologies, and health inequity, with publications spanning from 2022-2025. These works collectively examine how states render war injuries invisible, how religious frameworks shape healing practices, and how marginalized communities navigate healthcare systems under conditions of precarity. His recent articles show increasing attention to pharmaceutical experimentalism, carceral systems, and transnational kinship networks in health contexts.
Dr. Khan actively collaborates across disciplines including philosophy, medical humanities, bioethics, religious studies, geography, politics, sociology, and history, reflecting his commitment to interdisciplinary approaches to complex health and security challenges.
