Laying at the intersection of society, culture and health, Marius Wamsiedel’s studies have examined access to emergency care, the moral evaluation of patients and the economy of favors in the healthcare system. His teaching at Duke Kunshan focuses on global health, ethics in global health and qualitative research methods.
Wamsiedel has published his works in Social Science & Medicine, Sociology of Health & Illness, BMC Public Health, and Time & Society. He is now working on his first monograph, which examines the moral evaluation of emergency room patients.
Wamsiedel has a B.A. in sociology (magna cum laude) from the University of Arizona, an M.A. in sociology from the University of Bucharest and a Ph.D. from the University of Hong Kong. Before joining Duke Kunshan, he was a lecturer at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University.
