New Methodologies for Interdisciplinarity in HIV and Related Health Fields
All welcome!
9:00 - 18:00 Wednesday 25th June 2014
New Academic Building (NAB) Room 314
Goldsmiths, University of London
Since the identification of HIV, the virus has required extensive engagement between the social sciences and biomedicine. However, the relationship between the two has often been contentious: differences in language, frameworks for analysis, representation and understandings of what is at stake have provoked responses to the virus to be divided into biomedical or behavioural interventions. Consequently, and in contrast to its entangled character, the problem of HIV is often articulated in dichotomous terms - social or biological. In contrast, this symposium seeks not to amplify mutual critique, but to expand modes of collaboration.
Accordingly, this symposium will explore the relations - both beneficial and problematic - between research on HIV conducted within the Humanities and Social Sciences and Biomedicine. Key questions for participants will be:
* How do new methodological developments in the social sciences concerning performativity, process, materiality and enactment extend current understandings and provide impetus for new approaches to living and working with HIV?
* How do biomedical knowledges and practices inform and also become important sites of inquiry for the social sciences and humanities?
* Are there shared concepts across the sciences and social sciences that might be exploited to provide the basis for new interdisciplinary relationships?
* What does it mean to recall a history of the epidemic given its relatively short but intense trajectory and given it continues to change?
* What might a more interdisciplinary mode of collaboration offer to those affected by HIV?
