Looking forward to participating in this panel, organized by Adam Sargen and Chitra Venkataramani, at the American Anthropological Association, in New Orleans!

Panel Abstract: Studies of exposure have brought attention to the fragile and entangled relations of bodies and environments. From toxic chemicals to changing climates, exposure challenges notions of bodies and selves as separable from the worlds in which they work, play, eat, and breathe. This panel builds on conversations on exposure from feminist studies of science and technology and environmental anthropology. These studies have drawn attention to how experiences of exposure are not simple facts but are rather caught up in epistemic struggles that materialize the impacts of exposure on some bodies and not others. They demonstrate ways exposure makes, even as it degrades, bodies and selves, inscribing local and global hierarchies of race, gender, and class in corporeal forms and capacities.
