Takako Fujioka
Professor of Music
BioResearch topics include neural oscillations for auditory perception, auditory-motor coupling, brain plasticity in development and aging, and recovery from stroke with music-supported therapy.
Her post-doctoral and research-associate work at Rotman Research Institute in Toronto was supported by awards from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Her research continues to explore the biological nature of human musical ability by examining brain activities with non-invasive human neurophysiological measures such as magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG). -

Duana Fullwiley
Professor of Anthropology
BioI am an anthropologist of science, medicine and well-being interested in how social identities, health outcomes and scientific narratives intersect.
In my first book, The Enculturated Gene: Sickle Cell Health Politics and Biological Difference in West Africa (Princeton, 2011), I draw on over a decade of ethnographic fieldwork in the US, France and Senegal. By bringing the lives of people with sickle cell anemia together with how the science about them has been made, I weave together postcolonial genetic science, the effects of structural adjustment on health resources, and patient activism between Senegal and France to show how African sickle cell has been ordered in ethnic-national terms at the level of the gene. The Enculturated Gene won the Royal Anthropological Institute’s 2011 Amaury Talbot Prize and the American Anthropological Association’s 2014 Robert B. Textor and Family Prize for Excellence in Anticipatory Anthropology.
From 2003-2023, I conducted multi-sited ethnography in the United States on emergent technologies that measure human genetic diversity. Within this, I became particularly interested in how scientists engage ideas of genetic inclusion in how they enlist participants in specific disease studies, and how they also grapple with social movements, the writing of history, data privacy and racial capital. My second book, Tabula Raza: Mapping Race and Human Diversity in American Genome Science (UC Press, 2024), also develops the idea of 'sci non-fi' to describe the present where hope and liberation through tech fuse with its dystopian consequences. For its unique contribution, Tabula Raza won the 2024 Diana Forsythe Prize as well as the 2024 C. Wright Mills Award.
My current work extends my analyses of human taxonomies, informed by entrenched notions of racialized geography where differentiated humans are thought "belong," to interrogate inequities concerning migration and mobility. My focus now draws on the anthropology of science and medicine as well as environmental anthropology to better understand the forces that push people to leave West Africa for the complicated pull of Europe. I am concerned with people's narratives of risk and success at all costs in light of state sponsored surveillance, the simultaneous rigidity and fluidity of borders (land and sea) marked by new technologies, as well as how people draw from and create various forms of science and knowledge to forge relational trajectories that come to constitute home. This work also considers how human-made environmental resource scarcity figures into decisions to migrate (or, rather, to simply move) as people weigh viable futures, stability, and health. The project also investigates new forms of racialization engendered by contemporary iterations of technologically-assisted border patrolling, while the ocean itself is being re-conceptualized as a new frontier for salvatory tech options and economic growth in Africa and elsewhere.
I welcome working with students who are creatively grappling with cultures of science, environmental futures, global geographies of race, and medical power, and who are ethnographically committed to chronicling how people are forging new social forms within these.
