How are environments rendered stable through taxonomies of seasons and technologies of weather-forecasting and climate control? What are the health, bodily, and emotional impacts of this ordering work and its undoing in times of climate crisis?

Our research within this strand explores the health impacts of this emergent dislocation, bridging the gap between environmental and medical humanities.
