Pressure and Freedom: Technology and Formations of Public and Private Health Care in Phnom Penh

Southeast Asia Crossroads Podcast - CSEAS @ NIU

In this talk, Drs Jones and Legerwood talk with Dr Grant and explore how medical imaging participates in the re-configuration of public and private health care in Phnom Penh. Dr Grant consider different concepts to help parse the organization of care when Cambodia’s political economy evades captions such as “socialism” or “free market capitalism.” Jenna Grant is a cultural anthropologist working in the fields of medical anthropology and medical humanities; feminist and postcolonial science and technology studies; visual anthropology; and Southeast Asia Studies. Her work includes participatory filmmaking, ethnographic and historical analysis of medical imaging, and community-based inquiry of archival images.
