The Society for Medical Anthropology awards the Rudolf Virchow Professional Prize every other year to the scholar whose research best combines a critical anthropology focus with rich ethnographic data, and advances critical perspectives in medical anthropological questions in the general area of global public health.

Carroll’s article was also recognized earlier this year by the American Association for Ukrainian Studies as the best peer-reviewed article published in 2017 or 2018 in the field of Ukrainian studies.
