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 =93Examining collaborations in molecular= research infrastructures=94 which will take place as part of the Royal Ant= hropological Institute=92s Mobilising Methods in Medical Anthropology onlin= e conference, 18-21 January 2021.
Our panel explores novel and existing collaborations between biomedicine an= d the social sciences in the field of molecular genetics. In particular, i= t explores the potential and limits of ethnography in such collaborations, = asking what does ethnography afford in the study of and participation in th= ese 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/programm= e#10936

While research collaborations in genomics might generally be confined to th= e biomedical sciences, they increasingly include associations with social s= cientists. We ask: What does ethnography afford in the study of and partici= pation in these collaborations?
Contemporary research on cancer, dementia and rare diseases, among others, = cultivates understandings of disease aetiology and prevalence based upon an= alysis of =91genomic data,' further envisioning these conditions at a molec= ular level. These innovations increasingly rely on multidisciplinary kinds = of expertise and pools of resources distributed across complex transnationa= l infrastructures. While research collaborations might be confined to disci= plines traditionally understood to lie beneath the mantle of the 'biomedica= l sciences,' they also include new associations with the social sciences. T= hese research practices not only give rise to novel disease categories and = other forms of biological and social stratification, but they also inform n= ovel 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 i= magine multidisciplinary collaborations within the molecular turn? How can = ethnographic research methods be mobilised to better understand these colla= borations and what can they offer? How can ethnography be used reflexively = to examine stakeholders=92 understandings of its potential to enrich collab= orations in molecular research? How could we craft ethnographic voice(s) th= at highlight how stakeholders imagine, maintain and contest borderlands bet= ween science and society? What tensions emerge when negotiating competing d= isciplinary norms and epistemic categories in these collaborations?
