L’utilité de ce genre d’institutions est incontestable. Car le monde moderne est sans cesse confronté à des innovations, médicales ou autres, qui s’appliquent à l’homme ou à son environnement proche. Ce lieu est donc nécessaire pour préparer la matière intellectuelle qui sera ensuite transférée aux citoyens afin que ceux- ci puissent se prononcer quant à la légitimité de ces innovations.

Anthropologie
Senior Lecturer in Dept of Public Health and Policy - The University of Liverpool (United Kingdom) Medical Anthropology

I am an anthropologist whose research interests coalesce around studies of medical practices, health, biopolitics and the production of poor and marginal populations. I currently work as Senior Lecturer in the Department of Public Health and Policy at the University of Liverpool. Before coming to the UK, I was a Fulbright Scholar at the Department of Social Medicine, Harvard University, and an Associate Lecturer and Researcher with the Department of Anthropology at the National University, Maynooth, Ireland. My research spans both national and international research projects, and can be broadly divided into two overlapping domains: the biopolitical implications of new medical technologies for marginal populations (Ireland, UK, Mexico), and the social and cultural consequences and contexts of chronic and infectious diseases (UK). My supervision and work with doctoral and postdoctoral researchers is closely reflective of these areas with research projects ranging on the biopolitics of medical care and technology in Mexico, Peru and Guatemala and a series of UK-based projects critically examining the ‘new public health’ and focused on social inequalities. My time here at Fondation Brocher will be spent working on a book that focuses on the arrangements of transplant medicine in Mexico and their consequences for the production of suffering and inequality. I am particularly interested in showing how the processes and practices of transplant medicine make visible the relationships between state, market and healthcare.
