Rijul Kochhar is a historian of science and an anthropologist whose research interests include transnational histories of infectious diseases; environmental anthropology; comparative therapeutics; and critical theories of disability and rationality. His current book project, Science in Waiting: Antibiotic Resistance, Planetary Crisis, and Bacteriophage Futures After the Cold War, pursues interconnected sites in ex-Soviet Georgia, India, and the United States, to explore how a “post-antibiotic era” is causing a resurgence of collective interest in once-moribund bacteriophage therapy. Kochhar earned a Ph.D. at MIT, and held a postdoctoral fellowship in the Society of Fellows at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
