Interconnection, Obligation, Solar Power, and the Remaking of Energy Citizens on and off the Grid in California
Electricity grid infrastructures shape future publics and the contours of political belonging or exclusion, including citizenship. But in fire‐prone, more precariously grid‐connected regions in California, experiments with micro‐ and home nanogrids, subsidized by the state and built in many cases with Tesla products, provide new opportunities for thinking about the relationship between energy and citizenship in a 21st‐century United States. Throu…

Infrastructural politics in the Middle East and North Africa: Pasts, presents, futures
Post-grid Imaginaries
This essay describes an emerging "post-grid imaginary" that is informing visions of future collapse, growing scarcity, and deepening infrastructural fragmentation. By examining electrical grid failures in Lebanon and California, we can move beyond developmentalist assumptions about the supposedly different trajectories of the so-called Global North and South. The post-grid imaginary is at the center of a present and future struggle that is contin…
Garbage Infrastructure, Sanitation, and New Meanings of Citizenship in Lebanon

Why were the 2015 protests not organized along the domi…
Collaborative Visual Methods: Parent Activism, Educational Justice, and Photography in a Los Angeles Elementary School
Scholars and practitioners in the subfields of Environmental and Medical Anthropology have adopted photo-based collaborative research methodologies like photovoice as a means of incorporating participants in community-based research in a hybrid practice that borrows from the collective filmmaking strategies of visual anthropologists like Jean Rouch, the pedagogy of the oppressed of Paolo Freire (2000), and the feminist critiques of the 1990s and …
Everyday Sectarianism in Urban Lebanon: Infrastructures, Public Services, and Power
What causes violent conflicts around the Middle East? All too often, the answer is sectarianism-popularly viewed as a timeless and intractable force that leads religious groups to conflict. In Everyday Sectarianism in Urban Lebanon, Joanne Nucho shows how wrong this perspective can be. Through in-depth research with local governments, NGOs, and political parties in Beirut, she demonstrates how sectarianism is actually recalibrated on a daily basi…
