Entangled Medical Futures
Abstract
This conference report documents Entangled Medical Futures, a three-day workshop held in Edinburgh that brought together scholars and clinicians to examine plural medical worlds in Highland Asia. Focusing on therapeutic practice amid ecological change, infrastructural precarity, and shifting expectations of care, the discussions foregrounded healing as a relational, multispecies, and ethically situated process. Across ethnographic, historical, and clinical perspectives, the workshop highlighted how medical pluralism in highland contexts challenges linear models of health, governance, and expertise.
