Matt Gunterman is a medical ethicist, historian, and doctoral candidate at Yale University.
His research has identified the development of ‘hygienic individualism,’ a spatial sense of individualism provoked by knowledge of pathogenic microorganisms.
He is especially interested in hygienic individualism’s influence on the practice of religion in the United States, the nation’s consumer culture, and the development of technologies of disposability.
His research also offers important insight into the social and institutional ramifications of a health-care future defined by increasing antimicrobial resistance.
