No stakes? No talk. #Xenolinguistics doesn’t distinguish between understanding other languages vs understanding what actually matters to other life forms livingvaluetheory.org/article/xenoli…

New article just published: rethinking “class” as #mesocosmic coordination. Class is a way of reading others—and making oneself legible in a certain way by others livingvaluetheory.org/article/class-…

Just a quick anthropology appreciation text. I'm a sociologist + there's great oa work in our field led by @joe_dev + others But the dedication to open-access in anthropology seems kind of unrivalled. Anthros on Wittgenstein on Frazer is a perfect Sunday library.oapen.org/viewer/web/vie…

Thanks to the @MBUWestofScot and Community PMHS committee for having us along to celebrate 20 years of incredible hard work and dedication to perinatal and infant mental health. Really proud and privileged to be part of an amazing team…who know how to throw quite a party!!! 💜

It took some time to get my last article published, but I hope you enjoy it. It's a historical account of the controversial concept of personal responsibility and HIV prevention from the 1980s up to today, in the times of neoliberalism. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

@anthrosmriti Thanks Smriti--keep in touch, would love to know what you found out about PMJAY

@stefanecks Thanks for sharing! Read it today evening. Found the co-creation of value framing super interesting. Super helpful as I am currently writing my PhD on the PMJAY :)

just published! How government-funded healthcare schemes in India never consider what poorer people actually value. We need an expanded & ethnographically grounded sense of healthcare value tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

This brilliant piece by @stefanecks deals with a highly important and overlooked aspect of India’s public healthcare landscape. Resonates so closely with my PhD research too!

Phew! Just sent the manuscript of Questioning Humanity: A Preface for the Human Sciences by Thomas Osborne and Nikolas Rose to the publisher for review. Hope it will be out this time next year. Its about why human biology and human evolution should matter to the human sciences

#BigPharma samt Lobbytätigkeit & enormen Profiten auf Patente lässt vermuten, dass der Wert von Medikamenten kaum auf Arbeit beruhen könne. @stefanecks hat einen neuen Wertbegriff entwickelt um das globale Geschäft mit #Depression zu beschreiben. #Marx spectrumofcommunism.de/depression-pha…

Next Tuesday in Heidelberg: a hauntology of postcolonial trauma

@JDaviesPhD @stefanecks The UK's failed experiment in treating poverty with psychiatric drugs demonstrates the hollowness of psychiatry's claim that it must "be inclusive" of "underserved populations" because they lack the blessings of being drugged to the gills with crappy pharmaceuticals.

@JDaviesPhD @stefanecks This is a brilliant article. Patients getting ill because they are treated, struck a real chord in me. I was in with a family member being treated by a secession of locums. My job was to parry each new, unnecessary script addition made to a patient not known to the locum.

Glad to see the latest issue of ⁦@biosocieties⁩ in print: Inc my paper on the social lives of psychostimulants! A multiscalar relational analysis of (medical) globalization and (social) localization trends in the semiperiphery and in the treatm/ ADHD link.springer.com/article/10.105…

@JDaviesPhD @stefanecks This is a fantastic paper. Speaks to what I’ve seen in a year of clinical work in a trauma service. Makes my heart sink, though, thinking of how endemic this phenomenon will be across the country.
