César E. Abadía-Barrerois 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.

Hans A. Baeris Principal Honorary Research Fellow in the School of Social Political Sciences at the University of Melbourne. He earned his PhD in Anthropology at the University of Utah in 1976. Baer taught at several US colleges and universities both on a regular and on a visiting basis. He was a Fulbright Lecturer at Humboldt University in East Berlin in 1988–1989. In 2004 Baer taught at the Australian National University and has been based at the University of Melbourne since 2006, as a regular academic until December 2013. He has published 25 books and some 220 book chapters and academic articles on a diversity of research topics, including Mormonism, African-American religion, sociopolitical life in East Germany before and after unification, critical health anthropology, medical pluralism in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, the critical anthropology of climate change, Australian climate politics, mobility studies, and the political economy of higher education. Baer’s most recent books include Airplanes, the Environment, and the Human Condition (Routledge, 2020); Grappling with Societies and Institutions in the Era of Socio-Ecological Crisis: Journey of a Radical Anthropologist (Lexington Books, 2020), and Climate Change and Capitalism in Australia: An Eco-Socialist Vision for the Future (Routledge, 2022). He considers himself a scholar-activist and has been involved in a wide array of social movements, including the peace, labor, anti-apartheid, ethnic rights, environment, climate justice, and socialist movements.
