This episode is the first in our special summer series which features author readings from recent books. Hear Dr. Lesley Jo Weaver read a chapter from her book “Sugar and Tension: Diabetes and Gender in Modern India.” After her reading, we re-air her original interview from one year ago. In that interview, Dr. Weaver shares stories of wire cutting and wisdom that range from the process of moving cross-country to identifying and working with sustainably developed NGOs. Her latest research project in India will be focusing on social stratification, mental health, and stigma. More information about her research can be found on the Department of International Studies at the University of Oregon website: https://intldept.uoregon.edu/profile/ljweaver/.
