Background

My project is titled Free Body Problems: a play-on-words with the physics phrase while examining dynamics of human bodies and the choices they (may, can, do) make. The project was originally proposed as an exploration of bodily autonomy in choice-limited settings, particularly systems of incarceration. While that is retained as a component and case study, the lens has broadened to the ways our bodies influence our perceptions of our world and the ways our world influences what we (choose to) do with our bodies.
