No. 276. Evelien Deelen - Equine Anthropology discusses: rodeo bucking horses and veterinary care

Evelien Deelen is a doctoral student in cultural anthropology at Washington State University. She researches how cultural factors influence equine health and illness. She asks: “What aspects of equine healthcare are cultural, rather than universal? Do people in the United States have a distinct ‘culture of equine medicine’? How can we understand this better to make veterinary care more effective?”. Evelien also studied the opposing perspectives of rodeo people and advocacy groups towards the involvement of bucking horses in American rodeo, in order to come to a more nuanced understanding of this debate. Originally from the Netherlands, Evelien is committed to developing people-centered approaches and solutions to improve equine welfare, both in the United States and elsewhere.
