/

In this episode of Thinking In Between, we welcome Elspeth Davies. Elspeth is an anthropologist finishing her PhD at the University of Cambridge. Her research focuses on social and ethical dimensions surrounding efforts to diagnose risk and prevent cancer. On this episode, she shares three ideas that have shaped her work and thinking:

  1. The notion of acquiring bodies – McDonald, M. 2014. ‘Bodies and cadavers’. In The Routledge Companion to Objects and Materials. Abingdon and New York: Routledge.
  2. Yates‐Doerr, E. 2020. Reworking the Social Determinants of Health: Responding to Material-Semiotic Indeterminacy in Public Health Interventions. Medical Anthropology Quarterly 34, 378–397
  3. Opportunities and ethical issues when using Facebook ethnography
