acquired a sprawling role in social and political life. Corporate funding of science is now a fact of life, producing widespread concern in the West about the implications for public health and human well-being. One would expect such problems to be amplified
in China, where a slimming-down state pursuing an economy-first growth strategy has constructed an environment highly friendly to Western corporations. In this informal presentation, anthropologist Susan Greenhalgh talks about her recent fieldwork on the science
and policy of Chinese obesity, one byproduct of the nation’s rush to Western-style development. While sharing her empirical findings and theoretical reflections, she also tells a methodological tale about the dynamics of anthropological field research on
science-making in a country in the midst of constant, confounding flux. In this crazy-quilt kind of environment, where nothing is quite what it seems, how does one frame “a question,” define “the field,” locate “informants,” and respond to new, unexpected
issues that emerge in the course of research? On returning “home,” how does one create a scholarly story to tell when the data refuse to triangulate, the relevant literature is scattered across multiple fields, and the stories from the field seem to proliferate
without end? </font></div>

Greenhalgh is Professor of Social Anthropology and John King and Wilma Cannon Fairbank Professor of Chinese Society at Harvard. Her projects have focused on the science and governance of human life in the fields of in biomedicine, population management, and

effects of the anti-obesity campaign, initially in the U.S. and now in China and the world at large.</font></div>
