Bayla Ostrach is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Family Medicine at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine. She holds a PhD from the University of Connecticut and a Master's degree from Oregon State University. Her research emphasizes reproductive justice and publicly funded health systems, with a particular focus on how structural violence and marginalization contribute to health inequities through interactions known as syndemics. With extensive fieldwork experience in reproductive health care, Ostrach has been actively involved in clinics in Oregon, Connecticut, and Catalunya, focusing on the intersections of reproductive health and the Catalan independence movement. She has contributed significantly to the field with multiple publications on syndemics and reproductive health access policies, and her forthcoming book is set to address access to publicly funded abortion services in the context of austerity. Ostrach is also an active member of the American Anthropological Association and the North American Catalan Society, and serves as a primary mentor to graduate students at Boston University.
