CfP: Mobilising Methods in Medical Anthropology conference (P12)
*Apologies for cross-posting* <br> <br>Dear Colleagues, <br> <br>We would like to invite you to submit proposals to our panel “’Awkward <br>collaborations’ in studying people with chronic and rare diseases” (P12) <br>to be organized at the Mobilising Methods in Medical Anthropology <br>conference will be held 3 to 4 September 2020 at the London School of <br>Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. <br> <br>Abstract <br>Among scientists and the general public, research on chronic and/or rare <br>diseases has been regarded a domain of the biological and medical <br>sciences. Genes, tissues, and blood samples seem to belong to <br>laboratories rather than constituting socio-political and economic <br>realities. The bodies of participants in clinical trials, babies <br>undergoing newborn screening or blood donors among others, are <br>foregrounded and scrutinized in order to obtain measurable, comparable, <br>and quantifiable data. Subjected to medicalizing concepts and practices, <br>patients and their families, members of patient advocacy groups, and <br>policy makers often appropriate the language rooted in biological and <br>medical sciences. <br> <br>In this panel, we want to ask what happens when medical anthropologists <br>and other social scientists enter this picture of concept and data <br>creation and perpetuation as collaborators and researchers. Drawing on <br>the idea of “awkward collaboration” (Yates-Doerr 2019), this panel <br>invites papers that address ethical, conceptual, and methodological <br>efforts to work with and/or around differences arising in collaborative <br>research on chronic and rare diseases. <br> <br>The Call for Papers closes on 12 April 2020. <br> <br>Proposals should consist of a paper title, a (very) short abstract ofview formatted text
