CfP Panel on Toxicty in the 21st Century EASST 2018
Stream: Encounters between people, things and environments <br> <br>Panel title: <br>Toxicity in the 21st century (Panel A29) <br> <br>Panel conveners: Annamaria Carusi <br>(University of Sheffield), Thomas Widger (University of Durham) <br> <br>Short <br>abstract: Toxicology has a long history. With unprecedented levels and <br>combinations of chemicals in bodies and environments, and high industrial and <br>political stakes in this domain, this panel gathers critiques of traditional <br>approaches to managing toxins, and the articulation of alternative approaches. <br>Long abstract: <br> <br>The 20th century saw unprecedented levels of chemicals in the <br>environment, products, foods a vast number of chemicals and chemical mixtures <br>about which we are largely ignorant (EDF 1997). The 20th century was a <br>‘new age of toxicity’ (Cronon 2010), and there is certainly no sign of <br>this abating in the 21st, with serious implications for human and animal <br>health, and for the environment. The nature and actions of industrially <br>produced chemicals challenge deep seated traditional conceptions of poisons, <br>as well as the methods, tools and technologies, and broad approaches for <br>testing and regulating them. With high industrial and political stakes in the <br>science of toxicology and the governance of chemicals, this is a domain where <br>science, nature and society are inextricably interconnected. <br> <br>This panel <br>invites papers that analyse the current situation and advance new and emerging <br>trends in toxicology,, including (but not limited to): <br> <br>— alternative <br>scientific and regulatory approaches in social, economic and political context <br>— histories and politics of toxicology <br>— feminist critiques of toxicology <br>— toxicology in cultural context <br>— local and global toxicologies <br>— <br>citizen activism and toxicology <br>— technologies and toxicology <br>— human and <br>non-human animals and toxicology <br> <br>References <br> <br>Cronon, W., 2010.
