In this conversation with Assistant Professor of English at UT Austin Julie Minich, we discuss categories of disability, how the concept of health affects bodies, especially "irresponsible" or "deviant" ones; citizenship; obesity; flaws in the health care system; health surveillance; the myth of "choosing" your health; the myth of human perfectability; and the collective responsibility of health. Julie is currently working on a book that discusses these issues and more.
