Edna Bonhomme is a historian of science, interdisciplinary artist, and writer. She earned her PhD in the history of science from Princeton University and a Master of Public Health from Columbia University. Her dissertation “Plague Bodies and Spaces” examined the commercial and geopolitical trajectory of epidemics in North Africa. Working with textual archives and oral testimony, Edna explores contagion, epidemics, and toxicity through decolonial practices and African diaspora worldmaking by excavating the conditions that fuel modern plagues and how people try to escape from them. Her current project “Cartographies of Care ” explores the representation of African diasporic health and healing and her critical multimedia projects have been featured visually and textually in North America and Europe. Edna co-hosts the Decolonization in Action Podcast and is a member of the Dekoloniale Network in Berlin.
