Expert Profile
Nurazzura Mohamad Diah is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). Nurazzura Mohamad Diah obtained her Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology in 2010 from the School of Social Sciences (Anthropology and Sociology), University of Western Australia. Her Ph.D thesis focuses on the menopausal experiences of urban middle class Malay women in Malaysia and it was considered to be among the few anthropological researches that focus specifically on sensitive issues in Malaysia. She uses qualitative method to understand the ways in which health and sickness are constructed, issues around treatment and healing as well as questions of healthcare services.
Although principally a qualitative researcher, her works employ a broad range of multi-method approaches. She is also a lifetime member of the Malaysian Menopause Society (MMS) and Qualitative Research Association Malaysia (QRAM). Currently, she supervises postgraduate students working on health-related topics like women and spa, sports and well-being, maternal healthcare, persons with disabilities, beauty and body image and refugees.
