Today I speak with medical anthropologist Danya Glabeau and ID social scientist Emily Rogers.
Danya Glabau is an STS scholar and medical anthropologist, and Industry Assistant Professor and Director of the Science and Technology Studies program in the department of Technology, Culture, and Society at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. She has also been Faculty at the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research since 2015. She earned her PhD from the Department of Science and Technology Studies (STS) at Cornell University. Her research examines health activism, the political economy of biomedicine, and how human bodies become valuable data.

Her first book-in-progress, titled Reproducing Safety: Food Allergy Advocacy and the Politics of Care (University of Minnesota Press), examines the reproductive politics of food allergy advocacy in the United States. Her second book project, Cyborg (MIT Press), is co-authored with Laura Forlano (IIT Institute of Design) and will offer an introduction to feminist cyborg theory for scholarly, technical, and non-scholarly audiences.


Emily Lim Rogers is a PhD candidate in the Department of Social & Cultural Analysis at NYU. Her dissertation is an ethnographic and historical investigation of the politics of myalgic encephalomyelitis*/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) in the United States, particularly as it pertains to stratified healthcare infrastructures and gendered/racialized histories of the laboring body.
