Exposing “hot spots” of contamination, in part by satirizing government reports, the book argues that U.S. militarism obscures the domestic remains of war, and seeks to cultivate ethical responses and coalitional possibilities.

By examining the ways that biomedicine extends beyond the formal institutions of the clinic, hospital, and lab to broader everyday cultural practices, the book explores how life- making operates as a form of intimate governance that validates and secures life/lives seen as economically viable, self-sustaining, productive, and oriented towards the future—while simultaneously solidifying inequitable distributions of life based on race, class, gender, dis/ability, etc. The book explores these negative repercussions through case studies of five key affirmations that circulate broadly in public discourse—live, hope, target, thrive, and green—and ultimately advocates for alternative biocultures that attend to death and imagine life differently, from abolitionist biomedicine to performances of irreverent vulnerability.

Greig Crysler and Shiloh Krupar*, Territories of Exaction: Austerity, Bias, Dross (*under contract with the Society & Space book series, SAGE – 2021 submission) *Equal research & writing Territories of Exaction: Austerity, Bias, Dross investigates contemporary municipal bankruptcy and the relationship between financial and environmental disaster. Set within a genealogy of American colonial finance and racial liberalism, the book presents a triptych of municipal bankruptcy cases at diverse scales— 1 including the territory of Puerto Rico and its capital San Juan, Jefferson County Alabama and its county seat Birmingham, and Camden New Jersey—and explores the governance of debt and material waste, specifically water and sewer infrastructure. These city-based case studies track how neoliberal financial and environmental crises unfold within longer histories and political geographies of austerity and racial dispossession. The book contributes to the public humanities by employing innovative conceptual figures and visuals that integrate disparate accounts of crisis to consider forms of collective action and community that redefine contemporary landscapes of financial and environmental destruction. Digital Humanities Research Infrastructure Sarah Kanouse and Shiloh Krupar*, 2021, A People’s Atlas of Nuclear Colorado—*equal research & writing [Part of the A People’s Atlas of the Nuclear United States project] Url forthcoming, Scalar/USC Alliance for Networking Visual Culture A People’s Atlas of the Nuclear United States is a digital public humanities project that draws together scholarly essays, narratives of individuals and communities on the front lines of the domestic Cold War, maps and photo-documentation of sites and materials related to the U.S. nuclear complex, in an open-source repository of interactive data sets. The project’s first phase—A People’s Atlas of Nuclear Colorado (2021)—focuses on the state of Colorado and its immediate surroundings, which includes sites and processes representing all stages of the nuclear cycle, from extraction, milling, and processing to the assembly and deployment of weapons to the storage and monitoring of waste. Through the initial geographic lens of Colorado, the Atlas seeks to infuse nuclear public policy and public memory discussions with humanistic forms of inquiry that address the materiality of nuclear production and political affairs.
