This may well have been the fastest book project I have ever had the chance to be part of—despite actually being involved in it.
Date: May 11, 2026, 1300-1500
Venue: “Collaboration Room 4” in Building 18 on The University of Tokyo, Komaba Campus (also online)
Southern Anthropocenes @ University of Tokyo
This workshop is part of a collaborative research project on the pharmaceutical entanglements of life and its anthropological exploration. Participants will provide their own accounts on this broad topic from herbal medicines in Ghana and India to polypharmacy in Taiwan, and more. We hope to discuss how drugs, pills, herbs and vaccines are instrumental in the shaping of what has come to be called ‘experimental societies’ and how these changes situate many around the world in an extended space between bench and bedside.

A further take on the session at AAA2013@Chicago. We were interviewed by the recently launched Cultural Anthropology Podcast. A bunch of vaguely related, but interesting things. Thanks for you interest!
