Maia Green teaches anthropology at the University of Manchester. Her original fieldwork was on the impacts of Catholic Christianity in Southern Tanzania, and her volume Priests, Witches and Power: Popular Christianity After Mission in Southern Tanzania appeared from Cambridge University Press in 2003. She’s continued working in Tanzania in more recent work, but now explores a wider range of institutions and processes, including health sector reform, transformations in anti-witchcraft practices and the practice and culture of international development. Her work also has an ‘applied’ dimension, since she has combined academic anthropology with work as a policy analyst and as an adviser to international development agencies.
