Negating neglect
Global health actors, institutions, and communities are trying to respond to the unprecedented U.S. development aid cuts and the “America First” strategy to global health that focuses largely on HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, polio, and global health security. Amid this normalized neglect of people and health issues, we argue that a social scientific lens is increasingly necessary to understand and improve conditions associated with Neglected T…
Reimagine Aid, Don’t Destroy It
Care Without Pathology
Discrimination, Health, and Resistance for Thai Transgender Women
Transitioning Thailand
The workplace is a key site through which sex and gender are organizationally produced and unequal gender relations take place. Technologies, which are embedded with and impacting gendered power relations, are also integral to work and workplaces worldwide. As nation‐states promote technologies and rebrand themselves, how do technologies catalyze new forms of gendered embodiment and work—and how might this contribute to a nation‐state's developme…
Global Health Diplomacy and Commodified Health Care
Don't think that we die from Aids
The invisibilisation of social groups in health research and survey data is a source of medical uncertainty, long seen as a hallmark of the medical field. However, scholarship has not thoroughly assessed how medical uncertainty is structured by state-level processes and global health agendas, especially for people beyond the Global North. This article introduces invisibilised uncertainty as a type of medical uncertainty structured by global organ…
Gender, health, and labor in Thailand's medical hub
American Medical Sociology and Health Problems in the Global South
COVID-19 has focused global attention on disease spread across borders. But how has research on infectious and noncommunicable disease figured into the sociological imagination historically, and to what degree has American medical sociology examined health problems beyond U.S. borders? Our 35-year content analysis of 2,588 presentations in the American Sociological Association's (ASA) Section on Medical Sociology and 922 articles within the secti…
Microaggressions and Psychological Health Among College Students
User‐generated online queer media and the politics of queer visibility
In this article, we review sociological research on the politics of queer self‐presentation and visibility in user‐generated online media, such as personal homepages, blogs, YouTube vlogs, and queer‐specific social networking sites. Using an intersectional lens to attend to multiple axes of identity, the review offers a deeper understanding of how online queer media impact self‐presentation and visibility, while also privileging certain racial, s…
Transing' fitness and remapping transgender male masculinity in online message boards
There has been a recent growth of events and discourses related to transgender men’s health and fitness, including bodybuilding competitions, Olympics participation and appearances in Men’s Health Magazine. In addition, transgender men have formed Internet collectives to share information and support about fitness and transitioning. Based on a content analysis of a Reddit message board on transgender men’s fitness and interviews with transgender …
At Risk
In the mid-1990s, the World Health Organization warned that India was ‘at risk’ of suffering an AIDS epidemic as devastating as sub-Saharan Africa’s. Indian state officials responded by creating ne
