Panel 4S/EASST: More-than-Human Ethnographies of Global Health
Dear all, <br> <br>We would would like to share with you the CfP to our upcoming panel in the EASST/4S Conference 2020 in Prague: “113. More-than-Human Ethnographies of Global Health”. Find below the abstract. You can submit at the conference’s website by following this link: www.easst4s2020prague.org/accepted-open-pannels/ <br> <br>The deadline for submissions is on February 29th, 2020. We look forward to reading your abstract and please do get in touch if you have any questions about the session. <br> <br>Panel abstract: <br> <br>Global Health initiatives are a productive site to reflect on the role of non-humans as driving research and technology on health around the world. Non-human creatures are often framed as a (future) threat causing pandemics and pestilence. Movement of pathogens, insects, and pollutants that defy national borders are but some examples of non-humans that animate much of the Global Health research and policy today. STS scholars have examined the role of non-human entities in biomedicine as either functional assets (e.g. mice in labs), or outright detrimental to public health, a target to be controlled (as vectors of disease). Instead, this panel invites scholars to reflect on the role of non-human entities as analytically central to the ways in which Global Health collaborations are organized, where the non-human entities are at times symbiotic, at times commensal, and even parasitic. <br> <br>In this panel, we invite papers to reflect on how universalist Global Health is problematized by non-humans in the particular policy and scientific spaces where global health programmes are implemented. This highlights the differentiated multi-species entanglements that make visible infrastructural divergences, unequal power dynamics, and different rationales of global health projects. How are non-humans considered to be limiting or enabling these kinds of projects? How are different ways to know and live with non-humans rearranged or erased in the implementation of these initiatives? The discussions will allow us to investigate: how might an analysis attentive and attuned to the more-than-human entanglements offer a new perspective on global health collaborations? <br> <br>Keywords: health; global STS; non-human; multispecies; postcolonial <br> <br>Categories: Medicine and Healthcare; Environmental/Multispecies Studies; Postcolonial/Decolonial STS <br> <br>All the best, <br> <br>Jose, Luisa and Salla <br> <br> <br>Jose A.
