15. Bodies Politic, Boundaries & Borders with Stefanie Fishel_RR

Radio Reversal In this episode of Radio Reversal, Jo, Nat, and Anna, and special guest Dr Stefanie Fishel, Assistant Professor at the University of Alabama, put the body back into the body politic. Drawing on Stef’s new book The Microbial State: Global Thriving and the Body Politic, they consider what the body politic looks like when microbiology, immunology, and parasitology have discredited the idea of the bounded, contained human subject, and consider the complex, messy relationships between bodies, borders and politics – particularly spatial and environmental politics – and the agency of more-than-human actors. @joanna_horton @DrNatOsborne @annajcarlson @flusterbird @RadioReversal
