Toxic Life: Ecologies and Infrastructures Working Group
This interdisciplinary working group seeks to think critically about how infrastructures, ecologies, and differential forms of “toxicity” are co-produced. We take an expansive approach to toxicity, treating it not only as a chemical or environmental condition, but as a complex and mediated formation that is simultaneously social, political, historical, and material. We live in “toxic times,” feel the threat of toxic discourse, and are awash in toxic materials.
