Digital Ethnomusicological Research Data and the Institutional Repository
As governments and funding agencies increasingly embrace Open Science and FAIR data principles, both qualitative and quantitative researchers are encouraged to deposit and share their data via institutional repositories. How suitable are repositories and data sharing for ethnomusicologists? This article chronicles a pilot project using the Canadian institutional data repository Borealis focused on digital ethnomusicological research data related …
Understanding the drivers of poor infection prevention control (IPC) practices in Kenyan health facilities
Improving IPC practices in health facilities is a major concern for the global health community. This paper combines insights from rapid ethnographic research and epidemiological measures of IPC adherence undertaken in four health facilities of different sizes in western Kenya between November 2022 and January 2023. At the time of our research, the Covid-19 pandemic was a WHO-defined Public Health Emergency of International Concern, although the …
Engaging families to create a better post-pandemic future
Canadian youth and parents in our sample provided detailed descriptions on how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted their wellbeing and the strategies they used to reduce these impacts as much as possible. There is a need for support both at-home and in-school, emphasizing the importance of having a range of programs that address challenges across all facets of youths' lives
Does One Health need an ontological turn
One Health has gained global prominence in recent years. Alongside its emergence, there have been extensive social science critiques. In this contribution, we make the case for the value of recent theoretical discussions in the field of anthropology - sometimes referred to as an 'ontological turn'. We argue that taking theory seriously benefits One Health as an integrated approach that has interdisciplinary collaborations at its heart, but which …
Ebola is a business’
This paper examines the atmosphere of mistrust that permeated the response to the tenth Ebola epidemic in Eastern DRC (2018–2020). The concept of an ‘atmosphere of mistrust’ that we develop in this article directs attention to the elusive-yet-pervasive presence of mistrust in interactions between responders and communities during the Ebola epidemic. This analysis focuses on the popular notion that ‘Ebola is a business’. Our interviewees frequentl…
Health Care Professionals' Confidence and Preferences for Diagnostic Assays for Sars-CoV-2
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an urgent requirement for novel diagnostic tests that determine infection with SARS-CoV-2 and the development of an immune response against it. The perspective of end users on the characteristics and clinical use of these assays has not been previously considered. Methods: We surveyed 17,186 health care professions (HCPs) in 29 countries to gauge opinion on the design, use, diagnostic impact and diagno…

Why isn’t my professor Māori? A snapshot of the academic workfWhy isn’t my professor Māori? A snapshot of the academic workforce in New Zealand universitiesorce in New Zealand universities
This article provides insights into the ethnicity of academics employed by Aotearoa New Zealand's eight universities, with a particular focus on Mori academics. We show that, despite values espoused by universities in terms of diversity and within their equity policies regarding Mori staff, there has been no progress in increasing the Mori academic workforce. Mori academics were severely under-represented at universities between 2012 and 2017, co…
Introduction
This introductory article maps out the parameters of an emerging field of medical anthropology, human animal health, and its potential for reorienting the discipline. Ethnographic explorations of how animals are implicated in health, well-being, and pathogenicity allow us to revisit theorizations of central topics in medical anthropology, notably ecology, biopolitics, and care. Meanwhile, the conditions of the Anthropocene force us to develop new…
Global surveillance of trends in cancer survival 2000–14 (Concord-3)
BACKGROUND: In 2015, the second cycle of the CONCORD programme established global surveillance of cancer survival as a metric of the effectiveness of health systems and to inform global policy on cancer control. CONCORD-3 updates the worldwide surveillance of cancer survival to 2014. METHODS: CONCORD-3 includes individual records for 37·5 million patients diagnosed with cancer during the 15-year period 2000-14. Data were provided by 322 populatio…
Hospital Domestics
In Kenya, as elsewhere in Africa, it is common for caregivers to live alongside patients who are admitted to hospital. Ethnographic material from the wards of a district hospital in western Kenya shows that in this context proper care for patients required the mobilization of the extended family and the care and attention of hospital staff. Caring practices created biomedical and domestic ward spaces, with patients the objects of two divergent mo…
