Reminder: CfP Engaging Health Activism, Sexual Politics and STS (EASST+4S)
Dear all, <br> <br>Please see the call for abstracts for inclusion in our open panel Engaging <br>Health Activism, Sexual Politics and STS (#55) below. <br> <br> <br>Conference: EASST + 4S Joint Conference, 18-21 August 2020, Prague. <br> <br>Convened by: Lisa Lindn (University of Gothenburg & Lancaster University), <br>Emily Jay Nicholls (Goldsmiths & London School of Hygiene and Tropical <br>Medicine). <br> <br> <br>Engaging Health Activism, Sexual Politics and STS <br> <br> <br>The relationship between activism, biomedicine and sexual politics has been a <br>focus in STS since Steven Epsteins 1996 book Impure Science: AIDS Activism <br>and The Politics of Knowledge. In focusing on how patients, citizens and <br>organisations mobilise to transform biomedicine and healthcare, STS has taken <br>a particular focus on public/expert entanglements, such as how health advocacy <br>groups collaborate with healthcare professionals and mobilise citizens <br>experiences to influence health practice (Akrich et al. 2014). <br> <br> <br>In this panel we want to combine this focus on health activism with recent <br>calls to address the possibilities afforded by a greater attention to pleasure <br>and to sexual bodies in STS (Race 2019). Here we also include an attention to <br>the ways sex and sexuality are mobilised in political engagements with health <br>and illness. As digital technologies open new possibilities for doing <br>politics, sex and intimacy, and uncertain and turbulent times raise new <br>problems for health programming and notions of expertise, we hope to explore <br>the analytical generativity of doing STS research at the intersection of sex, <br>sexuality, health and activism. <br> <br>We welcome contributions that engage with health activism and sexual <br>politics in various ways, and from a range of empirical areas. This might <br>include: <br> <br> * Public/expert entanglements <br> * Sexual bodies, affect and pleasure <br> * The enactment of biosexual citizenship (Epstein 2018) in health <br>activism <br> * Continuities and discontinuities: troubled pasts (Murphy 2012) and <br>possible futures <br> * Health activism and LGBTQ movements (Roberts & Cronshaw 2017) <br> * Categorisations, standards, risk and politics of (sexual) inclusion <br> * Engagements with Queer Theory <br> <br>Contact: lisa.linden@gu.se; e.nicholls@gold.ac.uk <br> <br>Submission instructions: <br>https://www.easst4s2020prague.org/call-for-papers-and-panels/ <br> <br>Deadline: 29th February 2020 <br>________________________________________ <br>Lisa Lindn, PhD, Postdoc <br>Department of Sociology and Work Science, University of Gothenburg <br>Centre for Science Studies, Lancaster University <br>http://socav.gu.se/om_institutionen/personal?userId=xlinlb <br>Latest publication: Love and Fear?
