###  Speaker Bio:

 **Chikako Ozawa-de Silva, D.Phil.**, is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at Emory University. She came to Emory after serving as a Visiting Research Fellow at Harvard University’s Department of Social Medicine and as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the University of Chicago. She is a NEH (National Endowment for the Humanities) grant recipient and a Mind and Life Contemplative Studies Fellowship (The John Templeton Foundation) recipient. Her academic vision is to contribute to cross-cultural understandings of health, illness and well-being by bringing Western and Asian perspectives on the mind-body, religion, medicine, and therapy into fruitful dialogue. Her publications include two monographs, *The Anatomy of Loneliness:* *Suicide, Social Connection and the Search for Relational Meaning in Contemporary Japan* (University of California Press, 2021, forthcoming) and *Psychotherapy and Religion in Japan: The Japanese Introspection Practice of Naikan* (Routledge, 2006), as well as a co-edited special issue “Toward an Anthropology of Loneliness” in *Transcultural Psychiatry* (57:5, 2020, co-edited with Michelle Parsons), and over twenty peer-reviewed articles and book chapters on psychotherapeutic practice, suicide, the mind-body relationship and Tibetan medicine. For the past ten years her research has focused on loneliness, empathy, meaning-making, subjectivity and resilience, particularly among populations at risk for suicide, in situations of domestic violence, and in prison, in Japan and the US.
