The recent COVID-19 pandemic revealed new vulnerabilities in global systems, along with new measures of political response.\u00a0 Similarly, climatic changes and growing anxieties over resources such as clean water and air expose fresh terrains for potential disaster and public anxiety.\u00a0 This working group explores such contemporary problems through critical engagement with planetary health, a growing field of expertise and activism at the intersection of health and environmental concerns.\u00a0 Planetary health positions human well-being in relation to that of other species and interconnected environments, all framed by a finite, common planetary ground.\u00a0 Following but also departing from earlier formations of international and global health, its proponents concern themselves not only with people, nation states and populations, but also microbial life, animal vectors and zoonotic diseases.\u00a0 As a consequence, questions of milieu and interconnection come to the fore, along with vital infrastructures and equipment.\u00a0 We seek to foster cross-cutting conversations made possible \u2013 indeed, necessary \u2013 by the historical moment, combining a range of disciplinary frames and methodologies with novel questions about health from a planetary perspective.\u00a0 What forms of ethics and politics emerge around such concerns and efforts to foster care?\u00a0 What scales of space and time, what sense of limits and possibilities do they evoke?\u00a0 The group emphasizes specific case studies and material examples, across areas and time periods.\u00a0 Activities include: reading and analyzing key texts; workshopping works in progress; sponsoring events; and conducting field trips.<\/p>\n
