Biography

Dr. Hyde is a cultural and medical anthropologist with a broad range of interests in research and evaluation topics and methodologies. Most of her anthropological work has focused on youth populations in the United States and the cultural politics of risk that shape their pathways into and out of social institutions. Her previous research has focused on understanding factors that underlie movements from home to street among homeless young people in Los Angeles. This early research led to additional interests and work in the areas of substance use and abuse, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, and the legal and social service interventions developed to curb these social issues.

Dr. Hyde received her doctoral degree in Anthropology from the University of California at Irvine.
