E. Summerson Carr is a Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Chicago. She holds a PhD from the University of Michigan, obtained in 2004. Carr's research primarily focuses on the complexities of knowledge production and dissemination, exploring how professional cultures and institutions affect human behavior, particularly in the context of social work and addiction treatment. Her notable works include 'Scripting Addiction', which examines the politics of therapeutic discourse in American sobriety, and 'Working Difference', an exploration of the spread of motivational interviewing, a behavioral health method. Carr's ethnographic work critically analyzes the role of therapy animals, particularly the American Dog, in various clinical contexts.
