DESCRIPTION:A guest lecture by Professor Alex Nading of Cornell University.
 \n\nABSTRACT:  Chronic Kidney Disease of non-traditional causes (CKDnt) is
  among the first pathologies to be directly associated with climate change
 \, and it has become a case study in the emerging field of “planetary heal
 th.” While its exact origins remain unknown\, leading theories suggest tha
 t CKDnt is triggered by exposure to extreme heat. A desire to test that hy
 pothesis has drawn occupational and environmental health researchers to si
 tes where CKDnt is widespread. Perhaps most prominent among these is the s
 ugarcane zone of western Nicaragua\, where thousands of laborers have been
  diagnosed with kidney disease. In this talk\, Nading develops a critical 
 anthropological approach to planetary health\, arguing that the recent foc
 us on mitigating workplace heat exposure elides other environmental health
  concerns regarding industrial sugar production\, particularly about the u
 se of toxic agrochemicals. The systematic push by corporations and transna
 tional scientists to find ways to profitably produce sugarcane under condi
 tions of extreme heat is paralleled by the efforts of sugarcane zone resid
 ents to make knowledge claims about the slower and more accretive changes 
 in climate wrought by chemically driven cane production.\n\n \n
