Thomas Seibel
Thomas is a dedicated scholar whose current research interests center on the politics and practices of ghosts in the post-Covid context of South Asia. Drawing from medical, political, and sensory anthropologies, this research employs ethnographic methods to explore lived experiences, ritual change, and institutional transformations of knowledge systems. His work also engages with contemporary developments in both ayurveda and mental health discourses and practices.
Thomas’ doctoral research is supported by a doctoral fellowship from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and Concordia’s Southern Asia Studies Fellowship. He is a student member of the Centre for Sensory Studies (CSS) at Concordia University and is involved in a transdisciplinary and collaborative research-creation project titled, Meteomythosophy, with two other CSS graduate student members. Thomas enjoys spending time outdoors, making music, and cooking.
