Bioscientific innovation, medical imaginaries and experiences of contemporary healthcare
A BSA Regional Postgraduate Event
1 June 2018 (10.00am-4.30pm)
University of Edinburgh, UK
Inherent to technoscientific development is its implicit orientation towards the future, through presentation of the anticipated impacts of new technologies and techniques on clinical and scientific practice. We aim to bring together early career researchers to discuss how the future is imagined and represented through developments in biotechnologies and scientific understandings of ill health, across a range of health conditions. We will explore how contemporary biomedical imaginaries might shape the practices and expectations of biomedicine, as well as the impacts of these on experiences of health, healthcare, and for wider society.
We will explore these issues through discussion, and presentations from early career researchers. We also have two fantastic Keynote talks, from Professor Joanna Latimer (University of York) and Doctor Gill Haddow (University of Edinburgh)
