Equivocal diagnostics
What is a diagnostic test for? We might assume the answer to this question is straightforward. A good test would help identify what disease someone suffers from, assist health providers to determine the correct course of treatment and/or enable public health authorities to know and intervene in health at the level of the population. In this article, we show that what a specific diagnostic test is for, the value it holds for different actors, and …
Neglected Tropical Diseases and Equity in the Post-2015 Health Agenda
The Millennium Development Goals’ focus on just three infectious diseases (HIV/AIDS, malaria, and belatedly, tuberculosis) configured the global health funding landscape for 15 years. neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), a group of 17 or so diseases that disproportionately afflict the world’s ‘bottom billion’, are a symbol of global health inequities, in terms of prioritisation, research attention, and treatment. This article traces efforts to inc…

The Politics and Anti-Politics of the Global Fund Experiment
After a decade of operations, the Global Fund is an institutional form in flux. Forced to cancel its eleventh round of funding due to a shortfall in donor pledges, the Fund is currently in firefighting mode, overhauling its leadership, governance structures, and operations. Drawing on a case study of Uganda, we look at how the original Global Fund vision to be a simple financial instrument has played out at the country level. Even prior to the ca…
Regulating private health insurance
The continued preponderance of large health budget deficits in low-income countries has led to increasing international debate over the role that private health insurance could play in providing additional financing for health. However, the market failures inherent to insurance constitute a major concern and proponents are now advocating that states employ calculated regulations to offset these tendencies. This article uses an examination of the …

The Taxidermy of Bioluminescence
This article examines some of the discursive practices through which residents of West Virginia coal-mining communities negotiate the emically defined role of neighbor. Notions of personhood privilege the synaptic, the contextual, and the relational. The ontology informing these discursive practices is contextualized within the historical conditions of their lives as working-class. Data and analysis contest essentialized notions of 'Appalachia', …
