Sophia Roosth's research focuses on the anthropology of the life sciences. Broadly, Sophia is interested in examining how biological systems are increasingly understood by making them. Currently, she is concerned with how a growing number of amateur and craft practitioners use experimental practice — and sensory engagements with biological materials in particular — to critique and intervene into articulations of knowledge and power governing contemporary experimental sciences.
