Negotiating Identities in the COVID-19 Crisis: The Global-Local Dilemma of Medical Epidemiologists in Taiwan.
Taiwan, internationally acclaimed for its early success in COVID-19 control, credits its robust system of medical epidemiologists as pivotal. This article examines how these physicians were caught between the professionalism of global health initiatives and the challenges of local governance in a structurally unequal world. These dynamics shaped their roles as both members of transnational networks upholding professional principles and national scientists representing a state eager for "global citizenship"--a vision championed by UN agencies and international organizations. The conflation and disruption of biological citizenship, nationally and globally, together influenced the identity negotiation of Taiwanese medical epidemiologists.
期刊介绍:
Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
