My second major project, Inheritance, picks up on the themes of trauma, history, and memory that my first project elaborated. This project will be examining how patients, scholars, and physicians conceptualize the process of inheritance, particularly when it comes to the biological consequences of social inequality. In examining the fields of epigenetics and the embodiment of trauma, I hope to draw upon critical anthropological studies of violence, historical memory, psychoanalysis, and methods in cultural and biocultural anthropology.
