Embodied Inequalities of the Anthropocene invites you to think about health inequalities in the face of contemporary social and environmental issues, examining how bodies are unequally affected by the enduring presence of colonisation and capitalism.

In this globalised world, the Anthropocene is sustained by biosocial processes, colonial epistemologies, extractivism and expansionist rhetoric, with disregard for local cultures and more than human communities.

This project brings expertise in medical anthropology to contribute to knowledge in five areas: Gender, Reproductive and Environmental Justice; Multi-species Ethnography and Human-Animal Health; Covid-19 and Public Understanding of the Anthropocene; Chemical Toxicity and Exposure; Indigenous Experience and the Coloniality of the Anthropocene.

On the following pages are different resources which aim to show culturally localised realities of the anthropocene. Seminars, podcasts, films, articles and interactive learning tools produced by the EIA project and collaborators, engage in problematising social dynamics of subordination, highlighting local ecologies and focussing on the epistemologies of women, Indigenous peoples, other-than-humans for imagining and making solutions for possible futures.
