Panel title: Who is in, who is out? Exploring collectives in health
research
Co-organizers: Elise Paradis (University of Toronto), Mathieu Albert
(University of Toronto)
The scientific landscape is currently experiencing major transformations.
Governments, funding bodies and universities are redrawing knowledge
production practices to align with ideals of collective practice that bring
together the disciplines, researchers and research participants, as well as
private and public organizations. This track will explore the impact of
these major transformations of "collectives" in health research and their
role in transforming relationships among stakeholders in the research
enterprise: How are interdisciplinary policies changing science and
knowledge production? How is the involvement of participants in research
transforming practices and outcomes, as well as redefining what we mean by
"good" research? How is the greater involvement of industry, governments and
private enterprise shaping the types of questions that are asked by
researchers? Whose interests guide the research process? Who evaluates what
constitutes "good" research? In sum, this track will seek to answer key
questions of science policy: Who is in, who is out in science and knowledge
production today? Who are the actors at the center and at the periphery? Are
we witnessing the redefinition of scientific legitimacy? If so, in whose
favor?
