Présentation
Emilia Sanabria is a French-Colombian anthropologist trained in the United Kingdom (PhD and MPhil in Social Anthropology from the University of Cambridge, BSc in History and Philosophy of Science from University College London). Emilia was Lecturer in Anthropology at the Ecole normale supérieure de Lyon from 2011-2018 before joining the CNRS in 2018. In 2019 she defended her Habilitation à diriger des recherches titled “Towards an anthropology of encounters: ayahuasca’s multiplicity and the politics of knowledge”.
Emilia’s research is situated at the crossroads of the anthropology of health and the body and Science and Technology Studies (STS). She has been examining the fraught relationship between Western science and biomedicine and indigenous and traditional knowledges through a range of ethnographic projects on sexual and reproductive health, nutrition and food justice and the demarcations between drugs and medicines.
Emilia’s first monograph Plastic Bodies: Sex hormones and menstrual suppression in Brazil was published in 2016 by Duke University Press. Based on an ethnography of the circulation of hormonal contraceptives in Brazil, the book proposes to read the body as eminently plastic. Plastic Bodies received the Michelle Z. Rosaldo and Diana Forsythe prizes from the American Anthropological Association in 2017.
Emilia was Senior Research Fellow at the Amsterdam Institute for Social Sciences Research (AISSR), University van Amsterdam from 2013 -2018. She developed her work on drugs, pharmaceuticals and practices of evidence in global health within the ERC Advanced Grant program "ChemicalYouth: What drugs do for youth in their lives” https://chemicalyouth.org/ headed by Anita Hardon.
Since 2017 she has been Principal Investigator of Healing Encounters: https://encounters.cnrs.fr/en/
