His work involves long-term, critical engagement with biomedical psychiatric ideologies and practices starting with his book Mudpacks and Prozac (Routledge 2009) and continuing in his current work that assesses the effects of the Movement for Global Mental Health in South Asia. Professor Halliburton has also tracked the effects of global patent policies on pharmaceutical production and biopiracy of ayurvedic knowledge in India since the 1990s. He later engaged in fieldwork on this topic with pharmaceutical producers in India and the United States resulting in the publication of his book India and the Patent Wars (Cornell University Press, 2017).<\/p>\n In 2014, he completed Fulbright-funded fieldwork in Kerala, India that attempted to explain India\u2019s success in treating schizophrenia, and he has recently embarked on a project on the role of eugenics in the history of Stanford University and in California public schools. In addition to his more ethnographically-engaged work, Professor Halliburton has an interest in contemporary anthropological and social theory and has contributed articles on debates over the anthropology of the body and embodiment and on the role of \u201cauthoritative sources\u201d in developing social theory.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#E71939″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Research Focus” open=”on” open_toggle_text_color=”#E71939″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Courses Taught” open_toggle_text_color=”#E71939″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-58px||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding=”26px||||false|false” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”1px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Books<\/strong><\/p>\n India and the Patent Wars: Pharmaceuticals in the New Intellectual Property Regime.<\/a> Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2017<\/p>\n Mudpacks and Prozac: Experiencing Ayurvedic, Biomedical, and Religious Healing.<\/a> New York: Routledge, 2009<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
