Autoethnography, Undone: Toward a Crip Critique of Ethnographic Realism
How to be disabled in a pandemic By MaraMills, HarrisKornstein, FayeGinsburg, and RaynaRapp, New York, New York: New York University Press. 2025. 392 pp
The Coproduction of Medical Knowledge
What is the relationship between experiential knowledge and the categories, etiologies, and treatment modalities of medical science? When do patients form social movements and demand participation in medical research? This article reviews trends in how medical anthropology, sociology, science and technology studies, and the history of medicine approach the coproduction of medical knowledge. Coproduction is used as a wide-ranging idiom to capture …
Introducing How We Make It: Disability Justice, Autoimmunity, Community, a Multimedia Project
How We Make It: Disability Justice, Autoimmunity, Community is a born-digital multimedia piece that lives on the Scalar platform and that was submitted and eventually accepted into the Special Section on Autoimmunities in the Wake of COVID-19. The text below is a close reproduction of the Navigation page within the Scalar piece. While reading this text, one cracks open the door to glimpse the ten-person collective behind this project. However, we…
Cure by the Spoonful
Anyone who has ever had a chronic illness or chronic pain has heard it a hundred times:Oh, you have X? My cousin had that, too! She cut out white sugar and the pain went away.I used to wake up so tired every day, but then I stopped eating gluten and now I run three miles before breakfast.I just read an article about this woman in Australia who cured her multiple sclerosis (MS) with a super-healthy plant-based diet.You know what you should try...Y…
Patients as knowledge partners in the context of complex chronic conditions
This article conveys how taking patient knowledge seriously can improve patient experience and further medical science. In clinical contexts related to infection-associated chronic conditions and other complex chronic illnesses, patient knowledge is often undervalued, even when clinicians have limited training in diagnosing and treating a particular condition. We argue that there are opportunities for clinicians and researchers to collaborate wit…
The Eye, The Finger, and the Foot: Methodological Sententiae for Embodied Research Creation
"The Eye, The Finger, and the Foot":Methodological Sententiae for Embodied Research Creation Megan Moodie (bio) Beyond the superficial, the considered phrase, "It feels right to me," acknowledges the strength of the erotic into a true knowledge, for what that means is the first and most powerful guiding light toward any understanding. —Audre Lorde, "The Uses of the Erotic," Sister Outsider, 1984 The materialism in this book lives in the flesh of …
We Were Adivasis: Aspiration in an Indian Scheduled Tribe
Upward mobility in a forgotten tribe
Public discussions of recent demands by the Gujjars of Rajasthan, India, for inclusion on the list of the state's affirmative action beneficiaries have often veered away from the legitimacy of their claims and toward whether elite Gujjar leaders can speak for less educated and less affluent community members. This article examines how this latter set of questions-often described as the "creamy layer" problem in reference to a group's elite who ha…
Microfinance and the Gender of Risk: The Case of Kiva.org
This article examines how the gendering of high-risk financial strategies as masculine relies on and erases feminized reproductive work in the global South. I argue that the daily fallout of risky strategies—what I call peril—is the supplement to risk and that coping with peril constitutes the primary form of reproductive work of the current era. The global success of microfinance, currently cited as the best and most effective path to poverty al…
“Why Can't You Say You Are from Bangladesh?”: Demographic Anxiety and Hindu Nationalist Common Sense in the Aftermath of the 2008 Jaipur Bombings
This article examines the feedback loop between governmental technologies of enumeration and surveillance and Hindu nationalist common sense that creates and sustains what I call "demographic anxiety" about Bangladeshi immigrants and Indian Muslims in the north Indian city of Jaipur. A series of bombings in 2008, rapidly and erroneously attributed to Bangladeshi infiltrators, brought to light the role of these forms of knowledge in struggles over…
Enter microcredit: A new culture of women's empowerment in Rajasthan
Most studies of microcredit programs for women have been concerned with the relationship between borrowers and men outside microcredit groups, such as husbands and moneylenders. In this article, I focus on the relationships forged between women within microcredit groups in a small village in Rajasthan, India. I argue that, rather than representing a new paradigm for women's empowerment, microcredit has become one of several possible platforms fro…
