>
> Reprogenetic Encounters: ethnographies and technoscience
>
> This one-day workshop will bring together postgraduate ethnographers of
> reprogenetics to present their research and engage with
> sub/cross/anti-disciplinary issues surrounding ethnographic methods.
>
> While much work has centred on the ethnographic encounter as a meeting
> between
> ethnographers and their research subjects, studying reprogenetics involves
> attention to different theoretical and ontological configurations
resulting
> from encounters between new ethnographic subjects, disciplinary techniques
> and
> research agendas. This involves 'meetings' between varied strategies and
> embodied subjects/actors/agents, such as: work with clinicians (and their
> own
> disciplinary agendas); researching representations of reprogenetics in
> popular
> culture; and interviewing people on ethically charged topics such as
> In-Vitro
> Fertilisation (IVF), gamete donation, genetic testing, Preimplantation
> Genetic
> Diagnosis (PGD) and so forth. These ethnographic encounters may occur in
> fleeting situations in clinics, when physicians are 'between patients',
and
> when patients are pre-or post- a surgical procedure, awaiting results of
> genetic or pregnancy tests. What are the methodological concerns in such
> situations? What are the methodological innovations necessitated by these
> encounters?
>
> Speakers will each present a 30 minute paper reflecting on these issues
> drawn
> based on such issues from their own research. There will be 15 minute
> focused
> discussion of each paper and a cumulative 1 hour workshop discussing a
wide
> range of methodological issues in reprogenetic research. The aim is for a
> small
> and focused gathering that will facilitate in-depth discussion. While this
> workshop is oriented to postgraduate work in progress, interested
> researchers
> would be welcome to submit abstracts.
