个人简介
Her principal interests are cultural processes and structural institutions that shape mental health and illness worldwide. Her theoretical formulation entails conceptualizing mental illness as a fundamental human possibility, capacity, and process that affects all humans, to greater or lesser degrees, and for varying temporal periods. What is fundamental is the inextricability of culture, biology, psyche, and social world. Attention to human life and structures as rife with possibilities that are contingent rather than invariant provides the foundation for social, personal, and political transformation. Her formulation of "extraordinary conditions" (2015, 2020) integrates the reciprocal production of personal distress and conditions that are culturally and historically diagnosed as mental disorder, on the one hand, and structural adversity in variety of forms that encompass poverty, racism, misogyny, discrimination and social stigma surrounding mental illness, and inadequacy of healthcare.
Additional focal areas are feminist theory and subjectivity within domains of lived experience of the self, emotion, gender, and sexuality. Dr. Jenkins works with families, adults, children and adolescents in studies of culturally diverse refugee, migrant, and immigrant populations. These studies have been carried out prior to and during the coronavirus pandemic. Studies have concerned political violence, economic precarity, and endemic racism, particularly among Latinx and Mexican populations. Taken overall, her studies of mental health and illness have led her to theorize "struggle" (Jenkins 2015, 2020) as far more central to illness processes than symptoms. She maintains that when it comes to "mental illness," there can be no such thing as individual pathology. Her studies of global mental health include psychoses, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and the globalization of psychopharmacology to include her formulation of the "pharmaceutical self" and "pharmaceutical imaginary."
