[With apologies for cross-posting] Ethnographies of disease stratification: Understanding novel clinical practices and their social consequences in contemporary cancer care. Friday 12th April 2019 -- Department of Social Anthropology, University of Cambridge This one day symposium will bring together academics from a range of disciplines to discuss how contemporary oncology is becoming reconfigured by the technoscientific promise of improved health outcomes for those affected by cancer. We invite abstract submissions from early career scholars using ethnographic approaches to understand the impacts of discourses and practices on the stratification of cancer and patient experiences of illness. The symposium will facilitate networking and debate, and feature contributions from senior academics working in the field. Submission deadline: Please send your abstract (max 300 words) and a short biography (100 words) to Ignacia Arteaga at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> by 31st January 2019.
