Within multi-disciplinary global health interventions, anthropologists fi nd themselves navigating complex relationships of power. In this article, I off er a critical refl ection on this negotiated terrain, drawing on my experience as an embedded ethnographer in a four-year adolescent sexual and reproductive health research intervention in Latin America. I critique the notion that the transformative potential of ethnographic work in global health remains unfulfi lled. I then go on to argue that an anthropological practice grounded in iterative, inter-subjective and self-refl exive work has the potential to create ‘disturbances’ in the status quo of day-to-day global health practice, which can in turn destabilise some of the problematic hubristic assumptions of health reforms.

“我不是那种医生”

在多学科的全球卫生干预措施中，人类学家发现自己正在导航复杂的权力关系。在本文中，我根据在拉丁美洲开展的一项为期四年的青少年性健康和生殖健康研究干预工作的嵌入式人种志专家的经验，对这一商定的地形进行了重要的反思。我批评这样的观点，即人种学工作在全球卫生领域的变革潜力尚未实现。然后，我继续指出，基于迭代，主观间和自我反思性表达工作的人类学实践有可能在日常全球卫生实践的现状中造成“干扰”，从而反过来会破坏稳定卫生改革中一些有问题的自欺欺人的假设。
