Endocrine Disruption /
Everyday Toxicity 

CH4.PPTHormonesB:N.jpg

This extensive ethnographic research took place between 2015-2017 and explored forms of young environmental activism around everyday toxicity –often articulated as the presence of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in mundane objects and activities­– in a dozen urban centers across France. 

Some of the main themes that emerged from this research were the multiple invisibilities and uncertainties attached to ordinary exposures, as well as the key roles the body, affect and the senses play in apprehending and acting on the the toxicity of everyday industrialized life.
