Stacey Leigh Pigg is Professor of Anthropology in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Simon Fraser University. Inspired by conversations with people in Nepal, her research has explored the global  interconnections and uneven translations set in motion by science, medicine, and development expertise. She is currently working in collaboration with a team of artists and researchers on a graphic novel about the politics of roads and senses of place in Nepal. Through this project she is experimenting with the ethnographic form itself by exploring the potentialities of the comics medium as both a means to convey the stories ethnographers encounter in their research and as a theoretically-informed provocation to see contemporary social problems otherwise.
