Life in Suspension with Death: Biocultural Ontologies, Perceptual Cues, and Biomarkers for  the Tibetan Tukdam Postmortem Meditative State
This article presents two cases from a collaborative study among Tibetan monastic populations in India on the postdeath meditative state called tukdam (thugs dam). Entered by advanced Tibetan Buddhist practitioners through a variety of different practices, this state provides an ontological frame that is investigated by two distinct intellectual traditions-the Tibetan Buddhist and medical tradition on one hand and the Euroamerican biomedical and scientific tradition on the other-using their respective means of inquiry. Through the investigation, the traditions enact two paradigms of the body at the time of death alongside ...

Seesaw Precarity: Journaling Anxious Hope on a Chinese University Campus During Covid-19
Cult Med Psychiatry. 2024 Feb 23. doi: 10.1007/s11013-024-09846-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn this article, we examine the Covid-19 experiences of a group of Chinese university students studying in the city of Guangzhou. We draw on journal entries that Chinese students submitted to the Pandemic Journaling Project between March and May 2022, along with follow-up responses in July and December 2022, to argue that these students spent most of their undergraduate years living in a state of "seesaw precarity." We define seesaw precarity as a protracted period during which many Chinese were unable to predict from one day t...
