My research uses ethnographic methods to explore the social dimensions of antimicrobial use. Specifically, my project seeks to better understand the role of antibiotics in Thai society by examining diverse contexts and actors, including healthcare providers, farmers, urban day-wage labourers, scientists, and policy-makers. Fieldwork is being conducted in peri-urban areas, with a particular focus on the anthropology of pharmaceuticals and the everyday practices surrounding antibiotic use in healthcare settings, self-care, and other aspects of daily life.
