Jonathan Stadler is Associate Professor at the Department of Anthropology, University of Johannesburg. An anthropologist with almost 20 years of research experience in rural and urban southern Africa, his research interests are epidemics and syndemics, social suffering, sexuality, biotechnologies, clinical trials, and the application of anthropological methods in medical research. Stadler has pursued these themes over the past two decades in several linked long term ethnographic studies in rural (Bushbuckridge) and urban settings (Mombasa, Orange Farm, Soweto, inner-city Johannesburg). He has worked on five large-scale international clinical trials for HIV prevention, and several smaller studies, of innovative biotechnologies. He is co-author of Negotiating Pharmaceutical Uncertainty: Women's Agency in a South African HIV Prevention Trial (2017 Vanderbilt University Press) and Off-Label: AIDS Review 2012 (Centre for the Study of AIDS, University of Pretoria), and more than 40 peer reviewed articles.
