Outbreaks, Politics, and Perspectives. Stop 1: Geneva

Kelley Sams

Résumé

As we all face the global health COVID-19 pandemic and I launch a new collective research project to explore the social experiences of confinement in France, Italy, and the USA, I find myself thinking back to fieldwork that I did in 2015-2016 about malaria eradication. In this previous multi-sited work, I investigated how a material object (artemisinin-based combination therapy) was used to represent, create, and challenge social and political relationships. As COVID-19 highlights, health and illness are situated within these relations. Conceptions of risk, as well as ideas about how to prevent disease and mitigate harm, make the fissures and fusions of society visible.
