Stefanie Graeter is a cultural anthropologist interested in ethnographic questions of embodiment, materiality, knowledge and the political, with a geographic focus on Peru and the Americas. She is Assistant Professor of Latin American Studies and Anthropology at the University of Arizona. Her current book project, "Mineral Incorporations", examines how lead toxicity is operationalized politically within social projects that resist – or support – Peru’s extractive industries. Through an ethnographic examination of the social and material processes that bring bodies and minerals into relation, her work conceptualizes the politics of environmentalism, health and human rights within the noxious environs of racial capitalisms and post-Anthropocene worlds. In addition to ethnographic writing, she works with photography and film, including the short documentary, The Lead Zone.
