Vishnu Subrahmanyam

I am a PhD candidate at the Institute for Bioethics and Health Humanities within the School of Public and Population Health at UTMB Galveston. My dissertation studies the social, ethical, and biopolitical dimensions of emergent HIV treatment and care adherence regimens. I am a qualitative social researcher working mainly at the intersections of critical studies of HIV, Science and Technology Studies (STS), and queer-feminist theories of love, care, and forgiveness. I also work across public health ethics, disability studies, community engagement in biomedical research, and queer-feminist bioethics.

Broadly, my scholarship explores how biomedical knowledges and practice shape people, institutions, and society. The interdisciplinary scope of my scholarship allows me to critically engage with my fields of interest as objects of analysis, enabling a nuanced examination that integrates theoretical rigor with reflexive inquiry.
