DESCRIPTION:The Anthropology Department\, co-sponsored by the Program on La
 tin America and the Caribbean\, welcomes Alex Nading to deliver his lectur
 e\, "Planetary Health as Atmospheric Cultivation: Lessons from Nicaragua's
  Sugarcane Zone."Chronic kidney disease of non-traditional causes (CKDnt) 
 is among the first pathologies to be directly associated with climate chan
 ge. Increasingly\, scientists believe that the disease is caused by workpl
 ace exposure to extreme heat. A desire to test that hypothesis has drawn i
 nternational occupational health researchers to Nicaragua's sugarcane zone
 . While the coming of such research offers some hope to workers\, this tal
 k shows how the recent scientific focus on mitigating heat elides the fact
  that rising heat is enabled by national policies and transnational indust
 ry norms that permit the expanded use of agrochemicals. The systematic pus
 h to find ways of continuing to profitably produce sugarcane under conditi
 ons of extreme heat is paralleled by the efforts of nonworkers\, particula
 rly women\, to make knowledgeable claims about the slower and more accreti
 ve changes in climate wrought by chemically driven cane production.Alex Na
 ding is an associate professor of anthropology at Cornell University in It
 haca\, New York.
