Aaron Ansell is an associate professor in the Department of Religion an Culture. Ansell is currently researching public healthcare and poor people's health-seeking activities in rural, Northeast Brazil. As with all of his work, this project attends to the communicative forms that Brazilians use to negotiate resources either through traditional political brokers ("patronage") or through liberal bureaucratic procedures. Ansell examines these issues in the context of an important regime change in Brazil, the rise of the left-wing Workers' Party government (2003-present).
