Dear All,
This is a final invitation for paper proposals to our panel at the
Anthropology and Geography:
Dialogues Past, Present and Future conference. It will be held* 4 to 7 June
2020* at the British Museum, Clore Centre (RAI), SOAS, Senate House, and
the Royal Geographical Society in London. *DEADLINE 8th January 2020*
Panel Session *MV18*: *‘Toxic flows : Scales, spaces, forms and lived
experiences of toxicity on bodies and the environment*
https://nomadit.co.uk/conference/rai2020/p/8338
Convenors: Elizabeth Sibilia (CUNY) and Camelia Dewan (University of Oslo)
Discussant: Prof. Penny Harvey (University of Manchester)
*Short Abstract*:
This panel brings together anthropologists and geographers to discuss how
different approaches to toxicity - from looking at how toxic flows circulate
and leak through differing scales and spaces to the lived experiences of
toxic entanglements with bodies and the environment - may inform each other.
*Long abstract*:
Societal concerns over the ‘toxic’ have become ubiquitous today as human
and environmental entanglements with toxicity, at all scales, are
ever-increasing. Things that are toxic pose a risk. When the toxic is
contained, the risk is reduced but rarely eradicated as it is moved to *a
different place.* Containing the leaching flows of the toxic across diverse
boundaries - from the air, water and soil, to state and basin boundaries -
are spatio-temporal in character and produce particular types of spaces and
scales. This panel brings together geographers and anthropologists to learn
how each of the disciplines are approaching the toxic and toxicity to
imagine new theoretical questions and political possibilities. We invite
papers that conceptually and methodologically engage with:
-What are toxic flows?
-How do political, economic, social, and environmental forces manage these
flows, and to what extent do [global] inequalities underpin the lack of
toxic containment? - How do we research these flows across space and time?
- What are the different scales at which we engage with questions of
toxicity and its movement across land- and waterscapes, through human
other-than-human bodies?
- How does this enable us to assess and understand differing forms of
toxicity?
From looking at how toxic flows circulate through different scales and
spaces, to focusing on the everyday lived experiences of these toxic
consequences
on health, social reproduction and environmental degradation, this panel
seeks to reimagine toxic flows - their containment, leakages and social and
material effects- to encourage cross-disciplinary dialogues on these urgent
issues.

Proposals should consist of a paper title, a (very) short abstract of <300
characters and an abstract of 250 words. On submission the proposal, the
proposing author (but not any co-authors listed) will receive automated
email confirming receipt. If you do not receive this email, please first
check the login environment (click login on the left) to see if your
proposal is there. If it is, it simply means confirmation got spammed or
lost; and if it is not, it means you need re-submit, as process went wrong
somewhere.
A paper can only be submitted once and only one paper can be submitted per
person. Please submit your proposal here:
https://nomadit.co.uk/rai/rai2020/conferencesuite.php/paperproposal/8338
The full list of conference panels can be found here:

is *8th January 2020.*
Please do get in touch if you want to discuss paper ideas.
