Citizenship and Social Responsibility: Engaged Anthropology and Organ
Trafficking in a Biotechnical Era
Thursday May 12th 2011, 4pm
Stevenson Lecture Theatre, British Museum
Great Russell Street, London, WC1B 3DG.
Nearest tube stations: Tottenham Court Road (300m), Holborn (500m)
As part of its "Making Things Better: Modernity and Wellbeing" series for
2011 at the British Museum, UCL Centre for Applied Global Citizenship and
BioCentre are holding a free public lecture “Citizenship and Social
Responsibility: Engaged Anthropology and Organ Trafficking in a
Biotechnical Era”.
Professor Scheper-Hughes will challenge the assumption that her work on
organ trafficking is not anthropology. She will suggest that anthropology
and even medical anthropology and STS (Science Technology Studies) have
been bystander disciplines (along with bio-ethics and economics) in
providing a cover for the transplant traffickers who carry reprints of
their articles to prove that they are ethical and culturally appropriate
in their rackets.
Speaker:
Prof. Nancy Scheper-Hughes from the University of California, Berkeley.
Discussant:
Dr. Rebecca Empson, Anthropology Department, University College London
please come if you can
best wishes,
Ellie Reynolds
Making Things Better coordinator
