They cover a wide range of topics from synthetic universality,&amp;nbsp;technocapitalism, chemical legacies, queer kin, reproductive questions raised by&amp;nbsp;plastic, and hauntings created by the aftermath of slavery and settler colonialism. Davis is a member of the Synthetic Collective, an interdisciplinary team of scientists, humanities scholars, and artists, who investigate and make visible plastic pollution in&amp;nbsp;the Great Lakes. She is the author of&amp;nbsp;Plastic Matter, Desire Change: Contemporary Feminist Art in Canada, and &amp;nbsp;Art in the Anthropocene: Encounters Among Politics, Aesthetics, Environments, and&amp;nbsp;Epistemologies.
