Emilia Sanabria is a French-Colombian anthropologist trained in the United Kingdom. Emilia was Lecturer in Anthropology at the Ecole normale supérieure de Lyon from 2011 to 2017 before joining the CNRS in 2018. Her research is situated at the crossroads of the anthropology of health, care 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. Her first monograph, Plastic Bodies: Sex Hormones and Menstrual Suppression in Brazil was published in 2016 by Duke University Press and received the Rosaldo and Forsythe prizes. Since 2017 she has been Principal Investigator of an ERC project called "Healing Encounters: Reinventing an Indigenous Medicine in the Clinic and Beyond." https://encounters.cnrs.fr/project
