Microontologies and the politics of emergent life
What kind of a political problem are microorganisms that climate change is `waking up' after a million-odd years frozen in ice sheets? Or bacteria that feed off waste we bury in landfills – then go on to proliferate and evolve in ways that we may never know? The unpredictable behavior of microorganisms in increasingly interconnected worlds has sparked much innovative spatial-political thinking that highlights human–nonhuman entanglement. We sugge…
Interchanges: With Myra Hird and Harlan Weaver

This commentary addresses the role of epistemology in transdisciplinary public health research (TPHR). We discuss two problems with current TPHR. The fi…
