Embodiment in Anthropological Epigenetics Research
This article reviews literature in human epigenetic research as a case study in order to examine and critique the dominant framework of embodiment as unidirectional or bidirectional and mechanistically driven. The authors identify three major critiques to this approach: (1) the treatment of epigenetic traits as a mechanism of embodiment, rather than as multidirectional components of a dynamic and ongoing embodiment process; (2) a tendency to view…
Impact of Islamophobic myths on Indian healthcare
This paper explores how anti-Muslim myths, particularly the related neo-eugenic ideas of 'population jihad,' 'love jihad,' and 'corona jihad', work to stigmatise Muslims in India. I discuss how these ideas, although debunked, are mobilised in the Indian healthcare system, systematising eugenics and negatively impacting Indian Muslims. This paper focuses, in particular, on the discriminatory experiences of pregnant Muslim women due to the 'populat…
Perspectives in Embodiment Theory
This special issue of Human Biology , titled “Perspectives in Embodiment Theory,” brings together researchers who use a variety of lenses within the field of human biology to celebrate the plurality and wide applicability of embodiment. This special issue works to cross disciplinary boundaries to create more nuanced understandings of embodiment, plasticity, and experience in humans
Association between gene methylation and experiences of historical trauma in Alaska Native peoples
A community-engaged approach emphasizes balanced partnerships between communities and researchers. Here, this approach helps better understand embodiment of historical trauma in Alaska Native peoples. This analysis reveals links between the historical trauma response and DNA methylation. Indigenous communities have been stigmatized for public health issues instead caused by systemic inequalities, social disparities, and discrimination, and we arg…
