About
Jonathan Inda is a Professor in the Department of Latin American and Latino Studies. He earned a Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of California, Berkeley, and an A.B. in Public Policy from Stanford University. He has written about anthropology and globalization; governmentality and biopolitics; race, science, and medicine; and the politics of immigration. His books include Race, Identity, and Citizenship (1999), The Anthropology of Globalization (2002, 2008), Anthropologies of Modernity: Foucault, Governmentality, and the Politics of Life (2005), Targeting Immigrants: Government, Technology, and Ethics (2006), Governing Immigration Through Crime (2013), and Racial Prescriptions: Pharmaceuticals, Difference, and the Politics of Life (2004).
Prof. Inda is currently finishing up a co-edited volume (with Catherine Ramirez) titled Migrant Bioprecarity: Latinx Live and Embodied Vulnerability (2027). The book focuses on the precarity of migrant life—the differential susceptibility of migrant life to both biological and biographical damage.
