Thinking about the history of feminist anthropology in Australia, and what it says about the contemporary university. Drawing on papers from a roundtable at ANU in 2019, this @histanthro.org SFS includes six mostly unrecorded accounts of anthropology circa 1970s-80s histanthro.org/notes/theory...

The history of #HIV #AIDS is often told from the Global North. @benjhegarty.bsky.social & co take us to an Indonesian transgender community (waria) to show how ethn. accounts of other HIV/AIDS histories can help us rethink fundamental global health concepts. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I see there's an opening panel discussion, followed by apéritif! In Paris. Wish I could join them...

Potentially an interesting workshop on 'symbiotic viruses' at the Collège de France, March 4-5 - an excellent line up. I'm keen to learn how they revive an old trope... #STS #histstm #medanthro #medhum @benjhegarty.bsky.social @fredkeck.bsky.social

At the 6 month mark of my fellowship on symbiotic viruses @ieadeparis.bsky.social - brilliant year so far working with colleagues in Paris in virology, anthropology, health and medicine. My office is located above where Baudelaire lived for a short time. And now it’s springtime in Paris…
