Several additional projects investigate the material culture of global health, and the lively role of medical technologies in both contributing to embodied environmental changes and trying to manage them. This includes 1) “Kinship Electric: Technological Worms & the Parasitism of Americana,” a text based on nine years of engagement with members of a community that took shape online around a contested environmental disease diagnosis; 2) a collection of essays about various interventions for parasitic worms in global health histories; and 3) a book on guinea worm artifacts and the science of eradication, co-authored with anthropologist Adia Benton.
