Critical Commentary
This is a collage made from the visuals discussed by this artifact's contributors at the T-STS COVID19 India Group meeting on November 24, 2020
Three questions emerged from our discussion:
What gaps does COVID19 reveal in health infrastructures in this place?
Who is activated as an environmental advocate during COVID19 in this place? What is their capacity to respond to COVID19 as a disaster? (e.g. community health workers; frontline workers; labor rights)
Which places are being seen, or not being seen, in new ways due to COVID19? (e.g. households become a source of biomedical waste--connection to housing, biomedical waste, and public health; the boundary between gated communities and slums as a place)
We plan to add these questions to the analytic sets (1) Questions about Places (2) Transnational Framing
