Bio/Research
I am an anthropologist of healing and medicine in Africa. I am interested in the development of the particular forms of knowledge that become central to therapeutic regimes. The politics of healing knowledge shapes the way that we care, and what we care for; it shapes who we hold responsible for pain, debility, misfortune, and death as well as who is obligated to help. My own research investigates traditional medicine in East Africa. I teach classes on medicine, the body, postcolonial science, global health and Africa.
