chronic conditions like diabetes rise globally, technologies and bodies often break down together.</span></span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">This talk follows the stories of people “trying to maintain” in a Caribbean health system where diabetes has become the leading cause
of death nationwide—leading to increasingly reliance on health infrastructures to sustain life and prevent serious complications such as limb loss and blindness. Alongside the important attention sparked by the work of STS scholars such as Steven Jackson around
“repair work” and maintenance practices, citizen advocacy in the diabetes context also recalls the earlier use of “repair work” by Toni Morrison, when she described attempts to heal against the injuries of plantation landscapes and racial inequities.</span></span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">This ethnography follows the work of health advocates bringing together what have often been two distinct conversations about “repair
work” — the repair of infrastructures, and questions historical repair.</span></span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">What might be learned by placing these key conversations in closer dialogue?</span></span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></span></span></p>
