A MoLab Conversation with Juli Perczel and Biao Xiang


What makes e-waste move around?
 

In this MoLab conversation, Juli Perczel and Biao Xiang discuss what are behind the movements of e-waste in India. The circulation of e-waste material is facilitated by sophisticated social networks, divisions of labour, and transaction relations. Used electronics are scrutinized and evaluated in their different parts for reuse, refurbishing or scrapping. These processes are often associated with human migration and are not always environmentally friendly.

Recorded on 27 July 2021. Juli Perczel is a PhD candidate in Anthropology, University of Manchester, UK.
