Medicine in an Age of Sourcery
Seeing is making
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into genomics is reshaping not only how biological data are analysed, but how genomic knowledge is produced and operationalised in clinical practice. Earlier computational approaches relied on alphanumeric outputs—risk scores, statistical associations and textual reports—that required interpretive reasoning to translate data into clinical meaning. By contrast, contemporary AI systems increasingly ge…
The Model is the Message
The increasing prevalence of computer models within humanities research has raised a number of challenges for humanities scholars. Chief among them are the ways in which computational modelling fundamentally transforms the conventional methodologies and epistemological frameworks that have long defined research within the humanities. In Modelling Between Digital and Humanities: Thinking in Practice (2023), Arianna Ciula, Øyvind Eide, Cristina Mar…
Sailing on Encrypted Seas
Digitization has commonly been marketed as a predictive technology that can enable humanity to intercede into the future. This faith in digital media's prophetic powers, however, obfuscates the fact that digitization is unavoidably stuck in the past. In effect, digitization transforms the past into highly mutable and volatile data sets that are persistently rewritten by computer's memory refresh circuits. While some lament this temporal incongrui…
Hello World
NASA’s 2021 Perseverance Rover races toward the farthest reaches of our known world to search for signs of life. Although promising to discover life on the surface of Mars, the rover’s digital images of Mars’s barren and scorched wasteland paradoxically reinforce the fear that death is inevitable. Why search for life on the barren wasteland of Mars? This article explores this question from the perspective of scholarly examinations of Spiritualism…
The Banality of Big Data
This review critically interrogates Wendy Chun’s book Discriminating Data: Correlation, Neighborhoods, and the New Politics of Recognition (MIT Press, 2021) from the perspective of the digital medical or health humanities. The monograph’s exploration of predictive machine learning and big data’s propensity to encode segregation through their default assumptions about correlation raises important questions about machine learning’s growing uses in …
Madagascar’s Green Gold
At the start of the coronavirus pandemic, Madagascar’s government garnered international media attention for their herbal remedy to COVID-19, made from the Artemisia plant, called “Covid-Organics” (CVO). While global media outlets presented CVO as yet another example of an inherent conflict between traditional African medicine and Western medicine, this article hypothesizes that the release of CVO offers a rare window into the dynamic processes b…
Racial Purity and Dangerous Bodies
In Racial Purity and Dangerous Bodies: Moral Pollution, Black Lives, and the Struggle for Justice, Rima Vesely-Flad explains how contemporary antipolice activists are dismantling the contemporary penal system's strategic investment in racialized pollution boundaries. The monograph builds on Vesely-Flad's earlier work on the theological and social implications of contemporary racial justice movements and analyzes the varying ways in which Black Li…
An Afro-centric Approach to Public Health
This article outlines the need for an interdisciplinary graduate program in Africana religions and public health at Hamline University in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The program would trace the colonial histories of these fields, train students through internships, and create partnerships between health officials and African diasporic communities in the Twin Cities that promote the insights of Africana ritual practices for hygiene, sanitation, and wel…
Under Oshun’s Gaze
Questions about museums’ responsibilities to return looted African religious artifacts in their collections continue to create a number of challenges for US museums. This article assesses these challenges from the perspective of the Brooklyn Museum and the Fowler Museum at UCLA. While pioneering two different strategies, they both reimagine the restitution process as one where source communities and museum professionals work collaboratively toget…
