Bridget Hanna is an independent scholar. Her research focuses on environmental risk, exposure, and biomedical determinism. Her dissertation, Toxic Relief: Science, Medicine and Uncertainty after Bhopal, analyzed the relationship between epidemiological research studies, clinical care, and illness narratives in the context of a chronic mass exposure. Her book manuscript, Just Relief: The Long, Strange, History of Bhopal’s Lost Survivors is a history of the dangers of representation, collectivization and reductionism; a road to systematic discrimination paved by some bad, but many good intentions.
