In this episode we are joined by Anne N\u00f8rkj\u00e6r Bang –\u00a0 a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Southern Denmark. This summer, Bang defended her dissertation titled \u201cDissolving the Pill: Imagining the Birth Control Pill in Contemporary Denmark\u201d which interrogate the social, cultural, political, and scientific contexts surrounding the birth control pill. Through a Feminist Cultural Studies of Technoscience approach, Bang convincingly challenges otherwise settled narratives of the birth control pill as the symbol of feminist emancipation, an isolated entity free from relations, or a pharmaceutical achievement by displaying historical and contemporary controversies of the pill. The episode has a bit technical issues in the beginning, but does not disrupt the general conversation.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Anne N\u00f8rkj\u00e6r Bang is a postdoctoral researcher at University of Southern Denmark, Department of Culture and Language. She is part of the research project Endocrine Economies : The Cultural Politics of Sex Hormones, which inquires into how hormones emerge as troubling technologies and societal solutions in the context of the Danish welfare state. While Anne’s dissertation engages specifically with the birth control pill, she has also published on birth control injections in the context of 1980’s-90’s Kalaallit Nunaat and Denmark and on endocrine disrupting chemicals and their problematization in Danish politics. Anne’s work is broadly situated within feminist cultural studies of technoscience, drawing connections between the medical and environmental humanities and various strands of justice thinking.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
