Deadline 15 December: Social Sciences & Health Innovations Conference
Dear all,
With apologies for cross-posting we would like to remind you of the deadline
for abstract submission:
4th Biannual Conference
Social Sciences & Health Innovations:
Multiplicities
May 23-25, 2019, Tomsk, Russia
Search for an adequate response to contemporary health problems continues to
be high on the agenda. But how can these solutions be made to work and why is
it that many do not? One inspiring way of approaching these questions starts
from acknowledging the need to engage with multiplicities. While species,
bodies, diseases, and knowledges are multiple, the notion of multiplicity is
mostly avoided in health care, governance, and sciences, where the strive for
uniformity and best practices sometimes comes at the expense of applicability
in specific local settings, and of sensitivity to the uncertain consequences
of decisions and interventions. This conference invites participants to
discuss the notion of multiplicity and to engage with a diverse range of
multiplicities that are too often bracketed in attempts to understand and
address health problems. How can multiplicity be conceptualized? How can
concepts of multiplicity inspire productive ways of dealing with health
problems? How can we account for and engage with the complexes of many species
living together? How can novel health technologies relate to the multiple
realities where diseases are practiced differently?
