New Article on the Politics of Chronic Kidney Disease

Carlos Martinez, a BCSM-affiliated graduate student in the joint program in Medical Anthropology at UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco, has recently published an article in the Berkeley Review of Latin American Studies. He explores how the emergence of widespread chronic kidney disease in Central America is being interpreted, experienced, and confronted by advocates, researchers, governments, and impacted communities. Carlos's research explores the intersections between medicine, biocitizenship, global capitalism, coloniality and postcoloniality in the United States and Latin America.
