Deadline 15 December: Social Sciences & Health Innovations Conference
Dear all, <br>With apologies for cross-posting we would like to remind you of the deadline <br>for abstract submission: <br>4th Biannual Conference <br>Social Sciences & Health Innovations: <br>Multiplicities <br>May 23-25, 2019, Tomsk, Russia <br>Search for an adequate response to contemporary health problems continues to <br>be high on the agenda. But how can these solutions be made to work and why is <br>it that many do not? One inspiring way of approaching these questions starts <br>from acknowledging the need to engage with multiplicities. While species, <br>bodies, diseases, and knowledges are multiple, the notion of multiplicity is <br>mostly avoided in health care, governance, and sciences, where the strive for <br>uniformity and best practices sometimes comes at the expense of applicability <br>in specific local settings, and of sensitivity to the uncertain consequences <br>of decisions and interventions. This conference invites participants to <br>discuss the notion of multiplicity and to engage with a diverse range of <br>multiplicities that are too often bracketed in attempts to understand and <br>address health problems. How can multiplicity be conceptualized? How can <br>concepts of multiplicity inspire productive ways of dealing with health <br>problems? How can we account for and engage with the complexes of many species <br>living together? How can novel health technologies relate to the multiple <br>realities where diseases are practiced differently? <br>Conference speakers: <br> <br> * Vololona Rabeharisoa, Professor of Sociology, Center for the Sociology <br>of Innovation, Mines-ParisTech, Paris, France; author of many contributions on <br>the increasing involvement of civil society organizations in scientific and <br>technical activities <br> * Maurizio Meloni, Associate Professor of Sociology, Alfred Deakin <br>Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation, Deakin University, Australia; <br>co-editor of the recent Palgrave Handbook of Biology and Society and Biosocial <br>Matters: Rethinking Biology-Sociology Relationships <br> * Yan Vlasov, Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Samara State <br>Medical University, Russia; Chair of the Patient Protection Council and <br>Co-chair of the Russian Patients Union, Russia <br> * Komatra Chuengsatiansup, medical anthropologist, medical doctor, and the <br>Director of the Society and Health Institute, which is part of the Ministry of <br>Public Health, Thailand. His research on antimicrobial resistance follows <br>antibiotics, microbes, and discourses to national and international arenas. <br> * Special online contribution by Annemarie Mol, Professor of Anthropology <br>of the Body, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands; author of books The <br>Logic of Care and The Body Multiple. <br> <br>Submit your paper or panel abstract: <br>We welcome both individual paper proposals and proposals for closed thematic <br>panels (please note that your panel does not have to consist of paper <br>presentations, it can be a storytelling session, performance, or anything you <br>feel is suitable for engaging with your topic).
