Nadine Beckmann ist Dozentin in Social Anthropology an der University of Roehampton. Ihre Forschung konzentriert sich auf die Beziehungen zwischen Sexualität, Krankheit und Gesundheit, und zwischen biomedizinischen und alternativen Formen der Behandlung von Krankheit und Reproduktionsproblemen, insbesonders in muslimischen Gesellschaften. Sie hat zudem auch zu politischen Dimensionen des AIDS Aktivismus, Biopolitik und medizinischer Regulierung und Verwaltung intimer Lebensbereiche gearbeitet, und ist besonders interessiert an globalen Strategien zur Bevölkerungs- und Epidemienkontrolle und an den Beziehungen zwischen globalen Gesundheitskampagnen und lokalen Realitäten in Ostafrika.

Nadine hat an der University of Oxford in anthropology promoviert, zu den Themen HIV/AIDS und Islam, Sexualität, Moralvorstellungen im Kontext von tiefgehender materieller, politischer und spiritueller Unsicherheit, und die antiretrovirale Behandlung von AIDS. In den letzten Jahren war Nadine John Fell Forscherin an der University of Oxford, wo sie die Fertility and Reproduction Studies Group mitgeleitet hat; Forscherin am Peace Studies Department in Bradford; und Dozentin für internationale Entwicklungszusammenarbeit an der University of Leeds.
