The Anthropology of Loneliness: A Multiscalar and Ethnographic Examination
Loneliness is increasingly recognized as a public health crisis. In contrast to approaches that medicalize loneliness as an individual pathology, this review offers a multiscalar anthropological reframing of loneliness not as an individual psychological state, but as a social breakdown involving a deficit of the practices that establish empathy, belonging, and solidarity in collective life. Drawing from ethnography and theory, we trace the pathwa…
Improving Reproductive Success in Captive Marmosets Through Active Female Choice
The recent upsurge in the use of common marmosets ( Callithrix jacchus ) as a desirable model for high‐priority biomedical research has challenged local and global suppliers struggling to provide sufficient numbers of marmosets for large‐scale projects. In laboratories, random male‐female pairings are often unsuccessful, with intervals of several months before attempting alternate pairings. Here we address this challenge through a behavioral task…
Co‐playwriting between screens: The aesthetics of access in multimodal anthropology
Foregrounding two original plays about Turner Syndrome written in collaboration with an interlocutor with the genetic condition, this article explores the aesthetic dissonance that emerged while co‐playwriting via Skype and Google Docs. Foregrounding the aesthetic sensibilities and conventions, normative representational concerns, and sensuous knowledges interrogated and produced in the process, this article exemplifies how multimodal collaborati…
More Than Just the Two Percent: The reproductive politics of envisioning abortion and miscarriage in Turner syndrome
Following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the political, legal, and medical boundaries of spontaneous, elective, and selective abortion are blurring. Based on ethnographic research on Turner Syndrome, a genetic condition with a 98% miscarriage rate and uncertain abortion rates, this article examines the visual politics of reproduction and disability in the United States through the ambiguous treatment of miscarriage. Although infertile, my interl…
Psychometric Properties of an Adapted Stigma Scale and Experiences of Stigma Associated with HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Use Among Men Who have Sex with Men: A Mixed Methods Study
Stigma may influence the use of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). However, there is an absence of robust measures for PrEP-related stigma. We describe an adaptation of a HIV stigma scale for use in PrEP users and experiences of PrEP users in Wales (UK) with regards to PrEP-related stigma. A mixed methods study was conducted where PrEP users completed questionnaire items about PrEP-related stigma and a subset were interviewed about their experi…
Devaluation Effects in Food-Specific Response Inhibition Training: A Conceptual Replication
PrEP Use, Sexual Behaviour, and PrEP Adherence Among Men who have Sex with Men Living in Wales Prior to and During the Covid-19 Pandemic
We examined PrEP use, condomless anal sex (CAS), and PrEP adherence among men who have sex with men (MSM) attending sexual health clinics in Wales, UK. In addition, we explored the association between the introduction of measures to control transmission of SARS-CoV-2 on these outcomes. We conducted an ecological momentary assessment study of individuals in receipt of PrEP in Wales. Participants used an electronic medication cap to record PrEP use…
Between- and Within-Individual Sociodemographic and Psychological Determinants of PrEP Adherence Among Men Who have Sex with Men Prescribed a Daily PrEP Regimen in Wales
We investigated the determinants of daily PrEP use and coverage of condomless anal sex (CAS) by PrEP among men who have sex with men in Wales, UK. We measured PrEP use by electronic monitors and CAS by secure online surveys. We defined PrEP use based on daily medication cap openings and coverage as CAS episodes preceded by ≥ 3 days of PrEP use and followed by ≥ 2 days of PrEP use. We included 57 participants (5463 observations). An STI diagnosis …
Condon Prize: Improvising care: A theatrical exploration of Turner syndrome subjectivities
This article discusses an ethnographic theater project designed to explore how social performances of gender and disability shape the experiences of those with Turner syndrome, a genetic condition causing short stature and infertility. Working alongside two interlocutors with the condition, our rehearsals demonstrate subjectivity to be an ethical, relational, and generative practice of striving for good that fosters self-care and empathy for othe…
From Vanguard to Vanquished? The Tabloid Press in Jordan
This article considers the role of the "tabloid press" in Jordan's post-1989 liberalization process. Most studies of media in society and in processes of political transition have either ignored the role of tabloid media or derided them as examples of what is worst in media functioning. The present article seeks to compensate for this neglect by placing the tabloid press at the center of analyses of the media and democratization. In Jordan, the p…

Historical writing about everyday life
Everyday life' is an enigmatic term which eludes a straightforward or universal definition. The notion is less precise and more complicated than it looks. One reason may be that since 'everyday life' and the categories with which it is described are constituted within specific cultural and historical contexts, we face a host of (often contradictory) concepts.l Yet all approaches to everyday life in contemporary historical writing do have somethin…
The Death of Barricada: Politics and professionalism in the post-Sandinista press
This article examines two decades in the life of Barricada, established as the "official organ" of the revolutionary Sandinista Front (FSLN) in Nicaragua, from its founding in 1979 through to its demise as a daily in 1998. It is argued that, distinct from the overriding "mobilizing imperative" of support for its Sandinista sponsor, an institutionally generated "professional imperative" was also evident in Barricada's functioning from the early da…
