Slow Death and Key Workers
This article focuses on the experiences of waste workers in Glasgow at the height of the COVID‐19 pandemic, to explore how the ordinary workings of the UK waste industry are pushing bodies and infrastructures to the point of collapse. Drawing on in‐depth interviews with waste workers, and in conversation with Lauren Berlant's concepts of ‘slow death’ and the ‘crisis ordinary’, this article makes two key contributions. First, it reveals that waste…
Protecting the right to science in multilateral environmental agreements addressing chemicals and plastics pollution
Scientific evidence supports dominant institutional understandings of the global socio-ecological crises of the triple planetary crisis-climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution-demonstrating the profound impacts of human activities on Earth systems. Pollution is intimately tied to these crises, through extractivism and production of chemicals, including plastics and poses serious threats to the environment and human rights. While science i…
Rethinking the science-policy interface for chemicals, waste, and pollution
Negotiations for a new science-policy interface aim to complement similar bodies for climate change and biodiversity. • Existing models of science-policy panels are ill-suited to address unique aspects of chemicals and waste issues. • Policy uptake is a key feature of the new panel’s design. • Participation by stakeholders is vital, but industry input requires safeguards. • Further research on chemicals and waste issues will be able to contribute…
The work of waste during Covid-19
Waste has become a pivotal public health and environmental problem during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this interdisciplinary review, we move beyond the ‘coronalitter’ and ‘coronawaste’ discourses, which have come to dominate public imaginaries of waste, to consider less-visible dimensions of waste infrastructures and systems . We demonstrate how waste is coming to matter in new ways that offer opportunities for reconfiguring health research. By exa…
Chemical Kinship
Feminist technoscientific research with chemicals is proliferating. This critical commentary considers how this scholarship extends environmental justice research on pollution. We are concerned with two key questions: How can we do/design ethical research with chemicals? And, what methods allow for researching chemicals without resorting to an imagined space of purity? We consider unfolding projects which reorient relations with chemicals from vi…
Toxic sights
This paper examines the geographies of hazardous waste removal. Over the past decade, studies of disposal have demonstrated the myriad ways in which things can never disappear - they can only be transformed, transmuted, combusted, combined or any other manner of material change. This paper aims to develop understandings of the material politics of disposal by considering the matter of representation. It does this ethnographically, by following a …
Routine Exposures
This paper aims to photographically reimagine the representation of hazardous sites. It examines disregarded worlds of mundane yet politically vital photography: procedural representations made and circulated in hazardous site interventions. Scholarship which examines the visualisations of hazardous sites remains largely concerned with professional photography and sublime aesthetic registers. This photo essay departs from this epistemological hab…
Suicide at a distance
Knowledge of suicide is made through violent epistemologies that sever self-destruction from space, time, and place. As an inherently incomprehensible issue, efforts to make sense of suicide through abstraction have the paradoxical effect of inhibiting understanding. This paper argues that the incoherences characteristic of suicide are not an obstacle for knowing, but rather a cause to accept knowledge that is partial and indirect. Thinking with …
Co-Producing (a Fearful) Anthropocene
The Anthropocene is not amenable to the senses but, like many modern concepts, must be made visible. We explore the 'Great Acceleration' imagery as an immutable mobile to explore how this human-made geological epoch is constituted through the aggregation of disparate elements of extreme complexity. Our analysis explores how disparate issues such as 'telephone use' and 'coastal zone biogeochemistry' can be associated and enrolled into the same arg…
