Allah’s Will
Acceptance, faith, and duty are key for women navigating metabolic disorders in Senegal, West Africa. Senegalese women suffering from diabetes, hypertension, and kidney disease/failure found solace in Islam and their faith in Allah for navigating their disease experiences. Religion and faith are seen as sources of strength and agency rather than as foregone conclusions or as something “fated,” providing women ways to make meaning from their chron…

The weight of rumor
In Senegal, Type II diabetes often causes rapid weight loss. Weight loss is usually the reason women will finally seek out a biomedical diagnosis for their ailment. Loss of weight has many negative connotations for Senegalese women-HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, financial troubles, or an unhappy marriage. When women lose weight, they become the subject of rumors and gossip in their communities. This leads to isolation. Research has shown that isolation …
Iatrogenic necropolitics
In 2016, Human Rights Watch, an international human rights organisation, published a report on the use of forced anal examinations to identify and prosecute putative 'homosexuals'. The report provided detailed descriptions and first-person accounts of these examinations in several countries in the Middle East and Africa. Drawing on theories of iatrogenesis and queer necropolitics, this paper uses these accounts and other reports of forced anal ex…
A Heart for the Care
At the only standalone pediatric hospital in Zambia, patient wellbeing often rests in the hands of bedsiders. Bedsiders are caregivers, often family, who sit at the patient's bedside, feeding, cleaning them, and running medical errands. Bedsiders are critical human infrastructure for the hospital and its staff. In our research, we heard repeatedly that bedsiders must have a "heart" for caregiving, taking on unremunerated and exhausting informal l…
Handbooks and health interpreters
Our ethnographic insights challenge global health rhetoric that frames men as uninvolved in women and children's health and this study demonstrates that future interventions should take an asset-based approach to men's involvement. Senegalese men are uniquely positioned by gendered expectations to act as health interpreters for their pregnant partners. We conclude with specific, actionable recommendations for the Senegalese case
The Rural Household Production of Health Approach
The recent focus on rural-urban cancer disparities in the United States (U.S.) requires a comprehensive understanding of the processes and relations that influence cancer care seeking and decision making. This is of particular importance for Black, Latino, and Native populations living in rural areas in the U.S., who remain marginalized in health care spaces. In this article, we describe the household production of health approach (HHPH) as a con…
Interembodiment, Inheritance, and Intergenerational Health
This article introduces the concept of interembodiment, animated bodily entanglements between people, to illustrate the shared sense of illness that transgresses discrete biological bodies. Drawing on 15 months of ethnographic research in Senegal, West Africa, this article expands common understandings of inheritance and intergenerational health by exploring how women caring for others with metabolic disorders come to interembody the afflicted's …
Diagnosing Diabetes, Diagnosing Colonialism
This article explores the top-down production of the statistics frequently circulated in global health. These data must first originate in a place like the public hospital in Saint-Louis, Senegal, in doctor's offices and laboratories and medical archives. At their root, these data are an accumulation of individual bodies, experiences, and intimate diagnostic moments. This aggregation turns the afflicted into categories and statistical regimes tha…
