EP #421 - 2.21.2022 - Danya Glabau Returns to COVIDCalls

Today I welcome medical anthropologist Danya Glabau, author of the forthcoming book Food Allergy Advocacy: Parenting and the Politics of Care back to COVIDCalls.

Danya Glabau is an STS scholar and medical anthropologist, and Industry Assistant Professor and Director of the Science and Technology Studies program in the department of Technology, Culture, and Society at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. Her research examines health activism, the political economy of biomedicine, and how human bodies become valuable data.

Her book Food Allergy Advocacy: Parenting and the Politics of Care (University of Minnesota Press 2022), examines the reproductive politics of food allergy advocacy in the United States. Her second book project, Cyborg (MIT Press), is co-authored with Laura Forlano and will offer an introduction to feminist cyborg theory for scholarly, technical, and non-scholarly audiences.
