How is this image relevant to your research?

This image reminds me of how mutual aid and communities keep each other fed, and safe, and how local practices are actually best practices. My own research， although not immediatley related to the specific public health concern of COVID, will focus on Indigenous food soverignty, particularly the right and autonomy to ferment and distribute alcohol (紅糯米酒) within the Amis community, and their current fight with the local health department on declaring whether or not their alcohol is "safe" for public consumption and distribution.

COVID-19 COLLABORATION CALL: PROJECT REFLECTIONS & DIRECTIONS

In response to

If you have been working in a research group within the broader research collective, what has been your focus and work process? How have you imagined sharing your work with the broader research collective? Are you open to new members in your group?

I've been organizing and working with the Research Data KE Working Group. We have been collecting relevant links, articles and data in this essay. Some members of our group are now going deeper into thematic areas such as looking at gender and its intersection with COVID-19 in Kenya. We have a monthly call on the second Thursday of every month. We also have a WhatsApp chat group to exchange links and articles. We are open to new members, sign up here. You can find an archive of all of our calls and notes here.

COVID 19 Places: Kenya

This essay supports an upcoming discussion of how COVID-19 is unfolding in Kenya and a broader discussion about the framing of "place" within the Transnational STS COVID-19 project.
