Jeanne Guillemin's Home Page
JEANNE GUILLEMIN is a Professor of Sociology at Boston College
and also a Senior Fellow at the MIT Security Studies Program. Her latest
book, Anthrax: The Investigation of a Deadly Outbreak (University of California
Press, 1999) chronicles the scientific inquiry into the source of the 1979
anthrax outbreak in the closed Soviet city of Sverdlovsk. As a member of
the team that pinpointed the military cause of the outbreak, she has been
involved in numerous workshops and special presentations, for example, at
Livermore, Los Alamos, the New York Council on Foreign Relations, NATO, USAMRIID,
and the Hastings Center in New York. During the anthrax scares of 2001, she
became a regular on local and national television and radio news. She's also
written on the US military's troubled anthrax vaccination program (AVIP)
inaugurated in late 1997, and on the US-Soviet "Yellow Rain" mycotoxin
controversy of the 1980s. Her previous research and writing has been on medical
technology. Jeanne has also been a Congressional Fellow, sponsored
by the American Anthropological Association, an NEH Fellow at the Hastings
Center in New York, and a Bunting Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute. For
2002-2003, she is a fellow at the Dibner Institute for the History of Science
and Technology.
