TAWNI TIDWELL investigates the mind-body relationship foundational to cultivating healthy minds and bodies through biocultural and Tibetan medical paradigms for well-being. She examines markers and practices of flourishing in lives well-lived as well as processes of dying mindfully. She is particularly interested in work that contributes to understanding the cultural, social and environmental contexts that support practices and qualities of mind that lead to experiences of well-being across the life course, as well as aspects of its diversity among populations.
Tawni is a biocultural anthropologist and Tibetan medical doctor. Her research facilitates bridges across the Western scientific tradition and the Tibetan medical tradition, along with their attendant epistemologies, ontologies, and pedagogical methods. Her doctoral work focused on embodiment in textual-oral transmission and perceptual techniques in differential diagnostics.
Previously, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ERC-funded Project RATIMED) and the University of Vienna, where she examined pharmacological innovations in Tibetan medicine and training practices for medicine compounding, particularly across eastern Tibet. From 2020 to 2022 she served as Principal Investigator of the North American COVID-19 Tibetan Medical Observational Study (NACTMOS) as well as the Varela Study Examining Individual Differences in Contemplative Practice Response, funded by Mind & Life Institute.
Tawni is currently Project Manager of the Field Study of the Physiology of Meditation Practitioners and the Tukdam Meditative State (FMed, also known as the Tukdam Study), a collaborative research project with the Russian Academy of Sciences, Delek Hospital, Men-Tsee-Khang Tibetan Medical Institute, and a network of Tibetan Buddhist monastic institutions across India, guided by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. She also collaborates on the Austrian Science Fund Project Pandemic Narratives of Tibet and the Himalayas, where she contributes work on Tibetan medical responses to COVID-19 in Tibet and North America, and the Project Potent Substances in Sowa Rigpa and Buddhist Ritual, looking at concepts of potency in Tibetan pharmacology and medicine-compounding (menjor) for mind-body transformation.
She contributes transdisciplinary work to understanding gut disorders, cancer, and chronic inflammatory conditions. Her publications focus on diagnostic/treatment paradigms, pharmacological synergies, and modes of embodiment in contemplative practice, health and healing.
