CALL FOR PAPERS - "Examining Collaborations in Molecular Research Infrastructures" panel at the RAI Mobilising Methods in Medical Anthropology conference - 18-21 January 2022
Dear Colleagues, We invite submissions to our panel Examining collaborations in molecular research infrastructures which will take place as part of the Royal Anthropological Institutes Mobilising Methods in Medical Anthropology online conference, 18-21 January 2021. Our panel explores novel and existing collaborations between biomedicine and the social sciences in the field of molecular genetics. In particular, it explores the potential and limits of ethnography in such collaborations, asking what does ethnography afford in the study of and participation in these collaborations? Further details below. The Deadline for proposed papers is 25 October 2021 The conference will be held online on 18-21 January 2022 All proposals must be made via the online form, found here: https://therai.org.uk/conferences/mobilising-methods-in-medical-anthropology- 2022/programme#10936 For further details about the conference visit https://therai.org.uk/conferences/mobilising-methods-in-medical-anthropology- 2022 Please note: Papers that are not accepted for the panel might be considered by the Conference Committee for their fit in the wider conference programme. However, there is no guarantee that such papers can be re-housed. We look forward to receiving your proposals. Best wishes, Ignacia Arteaga and Henry Llewellyn ***************************** Examining collaborations in molecular research infrastructures (P13) Ignacia Arteaga (University of Cambridge) and Henry Llewellyn (University College London) While research collaborations in genomics might generally be confined to the biomedical sciences, they increasingly include associations with social scientists. We ask: What does ethnography afford in the study of and participation in these collaborations? Contemporary research on cancer, dementia and rare diseases, among others, cultivates understandings of disease aetiology and prevalence based upon analysis of genomic data,' further envisioning these conditions at a molecular level. These innovations increasingly rely on multidisciplinary kinds of expertise and pools of resources distributed across complex transnational infrastructures. While research collaborations might be confined to disciplines traditionally understood to lie beneath the mantle of the 'biomedical sciences,' they also include new associations with the social sciences. These research practices not only give rise to novel disease categories and other forms of biological and social stratification, but they also inform novel requirements and expectations of and for new stakeholders and patient subjects. In this panel, we invite submissions which address the following concerns, among others: How do biomedical and social scientists variously imagine multidisciplinary collaborations within the molecular turn? How can ethnographic research methods be mobilised to better understand these collaborations and what can they offer? How can ethnography be used reflexively to examine stakeholders understandings of its potential to enrich collaborations in molecular research? How could we craft ethnographic voice(s) that highlight how stakeholders imagine, maintain and contest borderlands between science and society? What tensions emerge when negotiating competing disciplinary norms and epistemic categories in these collaborations?
