Ulises Espinoza organized and presented sessions on race science, indigenous knowledge, and epistemic bias at the American Anthropological Association and American Association of Biological Anthropologists conferences. He has also published articles in Nature Communications and Social Science & Medicine. Ulises has also begun his second ethnographic project among medical professionals, tracing how the formation of race as a biological concept is incorporated into technologies, algorithms, and clinical training as a moral economy of care. This moral economy is constituted by a discourse of credibility that dictates what is deemed worthy of citing or teaching about race, thus shaping the kinds of care patients receive. While at Princeton, he developed parts of his first book manuscript, which explores grief and rupture in relation to narratives of progress in Achuar communities in southeastern Ecuador. Fall 2025, he will join San José State University(Link is external) as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology.
