Sophie D’Anieri is a PhD Candidate in Anthropology at Johns Hopkins University. Her work concerns care and householding, expressions of violence, and emerging political forms within a milieu marked by industrial pollution in Jalisco, Mexico. Her dissertation examines everyday decision-making around toxic risk, the texture of expectation, skepticism, and hope placed in institutions, and stories of illness and death that make their way through households, neighborhoods, and wider audiences. Her work has been supported by the Wenner-Gren Foundation, Fulbright-COMEXUS, and the Ransom Center. At Johns Hopkins, she has received support from the Medicine, Science, and Humanities Program, the Program in Women, Gender, and Sexuality, the Program in Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx Studies, and the Department of Anthropology.
