Notes on Contributors
César E. Abadía-Barrero is Associate Professor of Anthropology and Human Rights at the University of Connecticut. His research has demonstrated how for-profit interests transform access, continuity, and quality of health care. He has conducted action-oriented ethnographic and mixed-method research on health-care privatization, health-care policies and programs, human rights judicialization and advocacy, and social movements in health in Brazil and Colombia. Currently, Dr. Abadía-Barrero is examining an intercultural proposal to replace environmental degradation with “buen vivir” (good living) in postpeace accord Colombia. In another project in the United States, he is studying the role of capitalism in dysregulating children’s bodies. He is the author of I Have AIDS but I am Happy: Children’s Subjectivities, AIDS, and Social Responses in Brazil (2011) and Health in Ruins: The Capitalist Destruction of Medical Care (Forthcoming).
Elise Andaya (PhD, New York University, 2007) is Associate Professor in Anthropology and Associate of the Center for the Elimination of Minority Health Disparities at the University at Albany (SUNY). She is a cultural medical anthropologist whose prize-winning research examines reproductive health, health-care policy and practice, and health disparities in the United States and Cuba. Her current research examines the race, health inequalities, and time (especially experiences of waiting) in the delivery of prenatal public health care in a New York City safety-net hospital.
