Foucault, a Frenchphilosopher active during the AIDS crisis, discusses class and identity struggles as powerdynamics, which he calls “biopower.” Similarly, “biopolitics'' is the management of the peoplethrough the manufacture and

Over time, Roz enacted hybridity byshaping a world within mathematics that recognized how mathematics could be used to help othersby constructing networks that help make decisions related to the food crisis. Roz also created hermathematical world that involves participating in multidisciplinary projects where she is allowedto work with people from political, social, and life sciences; and the value of social skills inmathematics [24]. These new applications of mathematics were essential for Roz’ story instead ofconforming to the imposed identities of
