2008

Paul Burnett is a Museum Researcher at the American Philosophical Society.

Elise Carpenter [MD/PhD] has finished her PhD work on the social practices of HIV drug therapy (ARV therapy) in Botswana's nascent ARV program using ethnographic field work collected from 2002-04 and she is now working towards finishing her MD in May 2010. She is interested in the situated knowledges of bureaucrats, doctors, nurses, public health specialists and international experts in hybrid national-international health care system where the state receives international development/public health funds. Her research focuses on Botswana where the state provides primary and hospital care. HIV clinical care was begun with the assistance of international money and expertise from the Merck and Gates Foundations, but provided within the context of this national health care system. Elise's dissertation discusses how this hybrid partnership has implications for local versus international perceptions of the successes and challenges within Botswana's HIV drug therapy program.
