Tatiana Chudakova, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Tufts University and author of Mixing Medicines: Ecologies of Care in Buddhist Siberia (Fordham University Press, 2021) will give the next talk in the Work of Care in Russia speaker series: "Mixing Medicines on Shifting Terrains: The Politics of Integrative Care in Clinical Spaces in Russia." The discussion will be Moderated by Svetlana Borodina (Harriman Institute). The RSW is a co-sponsor of this series presented by the Columbia University Harriman Institute.
Focusing on the therapeutic life at the peripheries of the state, in the Siberian region of Buryatia that unexpectedly finds itself at the forefront of projects of medical integration via a local tradition of “Tibetan Medicine,” this talk explores how categories of official and unofficial medicine are co-constituted, and with what effects on conceptualizations of medical legitimacy, as well as on concrete ways of caring and curing.
