DESCRIPTION:Early 20th century public health pioneer William Gorgas' said 
 that killing mosquitoes required thinking like one. This dictum continues 
 to frame many mosquito control programs around the world. My PhD research 
 focuses on the urban spatial politics of vector-borne diseases in Lahore. 
 Borrowing Anna Tsing's (2013) notion of working with "interlocutors (whose
 ) work places (them) in the social world of other living things"\, I rely 
 on the accounts of people whose own practices are attuned to mosquito habi
 ts and habitats — doctors and malariologists working in early 20th centu
 ry British India\, as well as dengue control staff in contemporary Lahore.
  In this seminar\, I want to reflect on three particular aspects of conduc
 ting this research: engaging with the practices of these interlocutors acr
 oss 'field' and 'archive'\; learning about the embodied experiences of wom
 en who conduct dengue surveillance\; and the implications of my own method
 s paralleling those of my participants (walking\, talking photographs\, fi
 nding mosquitoes).
