Event Podcast: Psychiatric Encounters in the Colonial Matrix of Power: Persistent Colonialism in a Mexican Psychiatric Institution

This event podcast is of a lecture given by anthropologist Beatriz Reyes-Foster (University of Central Florida) on October 6, 2020. In Mexico, contemporary psychiatric encounters reflect the myriad ways in which colonial relationships persist in contemporary times. This talk, based on Reyes-Foster's book Psychiatric Encounters: Madness and Modernity in Yucatan, Mexico (Rutgers University Press, 2018) is a close examination of medical encounters in Las Lomas, a state psychiatric hospital in Yucatan, Mexico.
