Mei Zhan, Associate Professor of Anthropology at UC Irvine, gives her talk,"Undivided: Reimagining the Human and the World through Transdisciplinary Engagements with an Experiential Medicine" at Life (Un)Ltd: A Symposium on Feminism, Race, Biopolitics, and Care.
Life (Un)Ltd., initiated by CSW Associate Director Rachel Lee, engages recent developments in biosciences and biotechnology, foregrounding critical, aesthetic, and ethics based approaches to what have become global research and marketing industries. These industries experiment on and trade in body parts, tissues, reproductive cells and technologies.The quest of these bioscience industries--to improve health and optimize life—rests on a tacit division of labor and reward. The speakers at Life (Un)Ltd explored how non-normatively gendered bodies, poor women's bodies, colored and colonized bodies serve as opportune sites and sources for medical and other types of research and experimentation, the benefits of which are generally marketed to and realized by white affluent bodies.
The UCLA Center for the Study of Women is an internationally recognized center for research on gender, sexuality, and women's issues and the first organized research unit of its kind in the University of California system. You can find us on the web at www.csw.ucla.edu
