Nadja Eisenberg-Guyot is a white, disabled, trans anthropologist whose work focuses on how criminalized people who use drugs envision and experiment with abolitionist horizons of transformation, healing, self-determination, and solidarity beyond incarceration and forced-cure. As a teacher, Nadja fosters spaces of collective learning, embodied knowledge, and experimentation that bring the insights of cultural anthropology and critical social theory out of the classroom and into daily life.
In addition to their scholarly work and teaching, Nadja participates in abolitionist, harm reduction, and transformative justice organizing projects in NYC and beyond.
