Colleagues,
we are pleased to announce the Inaugural Yorkshire Medical Sociology
Meeting which will take place on Monday 24 February 2014, 13:00 --
17:30, in Lecture Theatre 1, School of Clinical Dentistry, University of
Sheffield.
Keynote address Professor Mary Dixon-Woods /*"Knowing about patient
safety: how hard can it be?"*/*
*I will identify the fugitive nature of knowledge about patient safety,
showing how ways of knowing are pervaded both by technical difficulties
and by interests. I will show how 'blindsight' may be induced by
reliance on forms of knowledge that enjoy institutional privilege but
may conceal rather than reveal risk, and point to the challenges of
accessing knowledge that is valuable but elusive because of its
forbidden character.
Also featuring Postgraduate Students and Researchers from the region:
Sian Beynon-Jones from The University of York will speak on:
*"Without delay: Using women's accounts to trouble the temporalities of
abortion policy and practice in England."**
*
Ana Manzano from The University of Leeds will speak on:
*"Are the British less altruist than the Spanish? Exploring the Social
Production of Deceased Organ Donation."**
*
Charlotte Jones from the University of Sheffield will speak on:
*"Disordering Intersex: The Significance of Diagnosis, Definitions and
Labels."**
*
