Excited to share “Agrarian Counterpoint”, a piece Javier Lezaun (@InSIS) and I have been working on for years—now out in American Ethnologist (open access).

This autumn we hosted three researchers from the Ifakara Health Institute in Tanzania @ifakarahealth. Irene Moshi, Winifrida Mponzi and Naomi Urio shared with us their work on the social science of malaria prevention and mosquito control. @oxford_anthro https://t.co/9RoZgQwaDv

Their visit was made possible by @inovec_project and @UKRI_News. Part of a mobility programme for natural and social scientists advancing the surveillance and control of mosquito vectors of disease in Africa, Europe and Latin America

Can the principles of 'harm reduction,' used to mitigate the health impacts of drug use, be extended to drug producers (coca growers) and the nexus of disease and toxic exposure that they face?

Over the weekend, @UniofOxford awarded a posthumous MPhil in Anthropology to pioneering Māori scholar, Mākereti Papakura.
Mākereti’s studies explored the customs of her people of Te Arawa from a female perspective. Tragically, she died very shortly before presenting her thesis.

A new article by @linapintogarcia and Javier Lezaun explores this question in the context of the Catatumbo region, northeastern Colombia.

[Lina Pinto-García @linapintogarcia]

What if harm reduction applied to drug production, not just drug use?

Our new piece with Javier Lezaun (@InSIS) calls for a radical reframing of health & justice for Colombia’s coca growers.
