Biography

Amina Mire is a scholar in the field of Sociology and Anthropology at Carleton University, focusing on interdisciplinary analysis and critical research related to women's health and racialization. Her recent research investigates the biomedicalization of women's bodies, particularly in the context of anti-ageing discourses and practices. Through various projects, she aims to understand the social, ethical, and political implications of global trends in nanotechnology and biotechnology on women's health. Her work challenges societal investments in the regulation of female bodies and interrogates how these narratives are influenced by commercialization and consumerism. She has contributed significantly to the field through her publications and presentations, exploring themes such as skin-whitening technologies and their implications for race and gender. Mire's interdisciplinary approach combines feminist and anti-racist analyses with critical inquiries into the implications of scientific advancement for marginalized communities.
