Eric J. Bailey

I grew up in the midwest (Wilberforce, Ohio) and discovered one of my fields of expertise (Anthropology) from the very first class that I took at Central State University. Since that very first day in the anthropology class, I knew that I wanted to become an Anthropologist. Later in the year, I transferred to Miami Ohio (Oxford) and obtained my B.A. and M.A. degrees. Once graduated, I received a teaching assistantship from Wayne State University's Anthropology Department (Detroit) for 5 years and graduated with my doctorate degree in Anthropology. A few years later, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Emory University and received my M.P.H.. I have been an Assistant Professor at the University of Houston, an Associate Professor at Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI), Senior Associate Professor at the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences Center, an Associate Professor at Charles Drew University of Medicine and Sciences, and currently a Professor at East Carolina University. I was also a Health Scientist Administrator and Program Director at the National Institutes of Health in the National Cancer Institute and the National Center on Minority Health & Health Disparities.
