Chronically Under and Over Touched™: The Hidden Politics of Control, Neglect, and Human Connection
Completed Manuscript
Chronically Under and Over Touched™ is a foundational work in this canon. It examines how touch—understood as regulation, proximity, attention, and control—has been misapplied, weaponized, or withheld across social systems.
The book traces patterns of neglect and overreach across institutions, bodies, and histories, asking how dominance becomes mistaken for care and abandonment for neutrality. It establishes the conceptual ground from which subsequent works emerge.
