81. The Ethics of Assisted Suicide and Voluntary Death

In this episode, we dive into the series of debates that have emerged around assisted suicide, both within and outside the boundaries of medico-legal institutions. Through a conversation with anthropologists Dr. Dwai Banerjee, Dr. Miki Chase, Dr. Sophia Jaworski, and Dr. Miranda Tuckett, we explore the ethical obligations that are raised around end of life care by the legalization of aid-in-dying and the practice of voluntary death.

80. A Dialogue on Love: Writing Through Migrant Belonging

This episode is about love. What does it mean to study love ethnographically and analytically? How might we speak of love, especially in today’s social and political climate? In dialogue with Dr Omar Kasmani, whose work explores migrant loves and intimacies in Berlin, we trace the hopes, heartbreaks, and potentialities that love can hold for field research and ethnographic writing. Bridging the subjective and the objective, the personal and the shared, the inward and the outward, love remains a concept as powerful as it is perplexing. We hope this conversation encourages a more deliberate investigation of love within our discipline, and highlights its richness and complexity as an essential lens for ethnographic inquiry.
