Dr. Jianmin Shao’s new article “The geobiopolitics of trans medicine: Kinship, recalibrated care, and difference-making amid China-US tensions” published in American Ethnologist

Dr. Jianmin Shao’s article “The geobiopolitics of trans medicine: Kinship, recalibrated care, and difference-making amid China-US tensions” has recently been published in American Ethnologist. A flagship journal in social and cultural anthropology, American Ethnologist features scholarship that combines ethnographic specificity with original theoretical thinking, conveying the relevance of the ethnographic imagination to the contemporary world.
In her editorial note, the journal’s Editor, Dr. Susanna Trnka, highlights Shao’s “fine-grained ethnography in a [Chinese] trans medical care clinic” and notes that “understanding the biopolitics of trans medicine thus requires, Shao argues, a geobiopolitical framing.”
