Key Roles of Epistemic Humility in OB/GYN Care of Patients in Acute Non-Labor and Delivery Pain Care
This article considers ethical, epistemic, and clinical harms of normalizing, discounting, or dismissing patients' experiences of acute pain in non-labor and delivery obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) settings. Discrediting patients' accounts undermines the therapeutic capacity of patient-clinician relationships, causes unjustified suffering, and may even contribute to life-threatening delays in recognizing and treating complications. This artic…
When Medication Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder Gets Disrupted by Extra-Clinical Variables, How Should Clinicians Respond
Structural and systemic discrimination against people with substance use disorder is pervasive. Clinicians caring for patients receiving medications for opioid use disorders (MOUDs) should plan for possible disruptions of treatment caused by arrests and pretrial confinement in jails. This case commentary suggests that harms caused by such treatment disruption can be mitigated by clinicians who take some of the practical approaches outlined in thi…
A decolonial anthropology
The 2022 meeting of the Group for Debates in Anthropological Theory (GDAT) Social Anthropology, University of Manchester. The motion is, of course, a riff on Audre Lorde's well-known 1984 claim that 'the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change.' Lorde is asking about the tools of a racist and constitutionally excl…
Philadelphia Department of Health Doula Support Program
The DSP continues to grow, and lessons learned will facilitate program improvements. The goal of this paper is to outline the development and launch of the DSP and to act as a model for other state and local health departments interested in providing doula care for birthing people with SUD
All organizing is science fiction’
Orders of Protection
The feminist adage "the personal is political" is not ahistorical. It is being operationalized in a time when the relationship between the private and the public is undergoing historic transformation. Making privatized violence public under current conditions often involves channeling the most authoritarian tendencies of the state into relationships made increasingly desperate by the conditions of contemporary capitalism. The ethnographic focus o…
Abolition Pedagogy
As the South African student movement of 2015–16 began to develop a deeper critique of the character of the transition out of apartheid and its minimal effect on the institutions of colonialism and apartheid, the administrators of postapartheid universities worked with the managers of the security infrastructure of the state to orchestrate a national police shutdown of the student and worker movement. This essay is an effort to sustain an objecti…
Between the Cold War and the Fire
This essay reads the South African student movement’s insistence on “decolonizing” historically white universities not as any simple identity politicking or refusalism, but, as a politics of antiassimilation into a society stuck in a presiding racial capitalism that postapartheid has been unable to overcome. The antiapartheid generation now in political power in South Africa came of age on Cold War–era formulations of revolutionary time in which …

Murder and the whole city
Henri Lefebvre's The Urban Revolution makes a claim for the importance of seeing the whole urban form in our analyses of cities. He argues that we too often get trapped into a view of the urban that prioritises "fragments" of the city to the detriment of their critical understanding in terms of the whole urban condition. This essay takes the technique of the "murder rate" as one such fragmentary reading of the urban, a technique which has the pot…
Teaching disruption
This article discusses the author's experience of planning and teaching a course titled 'Cultural Citizenship' to undergraduate students at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. The course was designed in the anti-capitalist spirit of Naomi Klein's No logo (2001), asking students to think about their socialisation into systems of commodification in global Johannesburg - advertising, mass media, malls, disappearing public spaces - a…
Containing the 'Wandering Native
In South Africa in the 1940s, an extensive public discussion about prison reform was led by a powerful collective of white liberals concerned with the growing rates of incarceration in the Union, particularly of urban Africans. This article argues that liberals understood prisons as significant sites in negotiating the ‘problems’ arising from African urbanism. The large migration of Africans to urban areas during the rapid industrialisation of th…
Reclaiming nonracialism
Gillespie challenges David Theo Goldberg's critique of the project of nonracialism (antiracialism) in The Threat of Race. Goldberg's critique understands nonracialism to forbid the racial terms that would allow for racism to be named and dismantled, and thus sees nonracialism as a variation on white privilege. She tests the book's most general claim by looking carefully at how this claim is substantiated in the chapter on South Africa. She argues…
The possibility of a critical anthropology after apartheid
This paper, prompted by an Anthropology Southern Africa conference around the theme ‘Public Anthropology’, argues that any post-apartheid anthropology that abandons criticality as a core disciplinary principle risks dispelling any radical content that anthropology may have to offer South African society. Anthropological practice that, in the name of activism or application, misrecognises the necessary and complicated relationship between thought …
