Inaugural Crown Prince Akihito Scholarship Lecture with Ms. Michelle Daigle

February 5, 4:15pm - 5:45pm
Mānoa Campus, Moore 319 (Tokioka Room)

---

Michelle Daigle is a PhD candidate in the Department of Anthropology at UHM. In 2011-2013, Michelle was awarded the Crown Prince Akihito Scholarship for her dissertation research. This talk will analyze how Minamata disease manifests not only through historical discourses of pollution and disaster, but also through patients’ embodied identity vis-à-vis activism and storytelling. Through this analysis, Michelle will shed analytical light on translocal discourses of distress and disaster, and respond to calls in disaster studies to reframe disasters as diachronic, rather than singular events with clear temporal, geographical, and social boundaries.
