Professor Aleksandr Sklyar presents: Living through nuclear and other manmade disasters has become a regularly recurring part of being human the world over.  This talk tells the stories of Fukushima mothers learning to live and raise their children "normally" in nuclear grey zones following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident of March 11, 2011.  I pay particular attention to the everday slippages between knowing, doing, and saying and the changes in contested representations of radiation over time in post-Fukushima Japan.
