Rachel Adler joined the UT faculty in the Fall of 2021.  She was formerly a Professor of Anthropology at The College of New Jersey, where she taught and conducted research in anthropology, nursing, public health, and sociology.  Dr. Adler practiced inpatient psychiatric nursing as an RN for almost a decade.  She is currently an advanced practice nurse, board-certified in both Psychiatric Mental Health and Adult-Gerontology Primary Care.
