Aliciah Carr is a Ph.D. student in the department of Anthropology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). She earned her bachelor's degree at the State University of New York at Oswego, double majoring in Anthropology and Psychology. She holds a master's degree in Anthropology from UNLV. She conducted her master’s research at the University of the West Indies in Mona, Jamaica, where women make up 70% of enrollment. Her mixed-methods study investigated how this imbalance shaped university women's mate preferences. She presented this work at the most recent American Anthropological Association (AAA) meeting.

Carr’s current dissertation work examines how Tanzanian women navigate access to assisted reproductive technology (ART). Drawing on reproductive justice, stratified reproduction, and critical medical anthropology, she asks how colonial histories and structural inequality shape who is able to build a family through ART in postcolonial Tanzania. Carr hopes her work will center women's experiences in conversations about fertility care and inform more equitable reproductive health policy.

 Aliciah is a dedicated student leader. She has served as a graduate assistant (GA) teaching multiple semesters of the introductory lab course in Biological Anthropology and supporting multiple other classes within the department. She has held numerous leadership roles across campus organizations, including the Anthropology Society and several graduate student groups. Most notably, she has served on the Graduate and Professional Student Association (GPSA) executive board for three years as its elected secretary and two-term vice president.

After graduating, she plans to pursue a career in global health using her skills to advance the reproductive justice movement.
