Abstract
In this article, we offer an introduction to the special issue of Cultural Studies↔Critical Methodologies. First, we present some of our own reflections and, second, we provide an overview of the articles assembled here to advance the critical interrogation of biopedagogies and/of public health. Our own reflections focus attention on biocitizens and the ill-fated “rescue missions” to save bio-Others. In brief, we argue that (a) within neoliberal societies, an assemblage of private and public institutions and organizations circulate the “health imperative”; (b) this imperative leads to the creation of the fit and productive biocitizen through various market solutions; (c) this imperative leads to biomorality and the construction of the unfit, unwell, and unproductive bio-Other; (d) public health invests in rescue missions to “save” this bio-Other; and (e) public health initiatives are instrumentalized within corporate schemes to expand markets in the name of health. We then conclude our piece with thoughts on the place of cultural studies and critical methodologies in the larger project of health and social justice, while presenting an overview of the articles selected for this special issue in connection to three themes: biopedagogies and spaces, identifications, and affects/effects.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
