*CFP “Crafting values in cancer care across the UK: at the intersection
between oncology and ethnography”. *
Considerable transformations have taken place in cancer care over recent
years in the UK. Long-term structural re-configurations of the NHS, novel
therapies made possible through breakthroughs in wet labs and public
awareness of some of the epi-genetic factors contributing to our
understandings of cancer risk are just some of the variables that are
changing the landscape of cancer care. In turn, qualitative health
researchers are witnessing how these emergent projects are mobilising a
myriad of epistemological, political and ethical categories that are
shaping clinical dynamics and the modes through which our key informants
are negotiating what good care is and what its effects are.
As its starting point, the theme ‘crafting values in cancer care’ aims to
strengthen the bridge between oncology and ethnography by providing a
framework for an informed discussion about the potential of ethnographic
work to illuminate the diverse opportunities and challenges that oncology
teams, patients and caregivers fare across the country today.
We welcome papers by early career researchers and other academics who are
exploring the socio-political, therapeutic and ethical projects that are
currently transforming cancer care terrain in the UK. Drawing on
ethnographic methods, we would like to ask what kinds of values are
crafted, negotiated and embodied inside and outside oncology clinics
throughout the country. Whilst not limited to the following topics, we are
keen to reflect on:
- The disparities in stratified cancer care and the effects of the
distribution of therapeutic innovation across the UK.
- The production and negotiation of lay and expert knowledge
around cancer risk
- The socio-political dynamics giving rise to the collectivisation
of experiences of cancer patienthood and survivorship.
- The ethical values informing caregiving projects of patients and
their support networks outside the clinic.
- The scope and limits of ethnographic research in contributing to
meaningful changes in medical practice and health policy.
*Date and location*
