Datum
03. Sep­tem­ber – 04. Sep­tem­ber 2020 

ROYAL ANTHROPOLOGICAL INSTITUTE
MOBILISING METHODS IN MEDICAL ANTHROPOLOGY

DEADLINE 17 Feb­ru­ary 2020

2020 Con­fer­ence of the Roy­al Anthro­po­log­i­cal Institute’s Med­ical Anthro­pol­o­gy Com­mit­tee in col­lab­o­ra­tion with Lon­don School of Hygiene and Trop­i­cal Medicine.

Dates: 3–4 Sep­tem­ber 2020
Venue: Lon­don School of Hygiene and Trop­i­cal Med­i­cine, London.

CALL FOR PANEL PROPOSALS

Med­ical anthro­pol­o­gy is a prac­tice of con­tin­u­al empir­i­cal nego­ti­a­tion. Our work is sit­u­at­ed in cross-dis­ci­pli­nary intel­lec­tu­al spaces and its inves­tiga­tive tools and means of analy­sis are shaped accord­ing­ly, often influ­enc­ing, and being influ­enced by, meth­ods in oth­er fields.

The ‚Mobil­is­ing Meth­ods’ con­fer­ence seeks to explore the cre­ative and dynam­ic ten­sions that arise in con­cep­tu­al and method­olog­i­cal terms, from excit­ing work at the inter­sec­tions of med­ical anthro­pol­o­gy with pub­lic health, pri­ma­ry care, vet­eri­nary sci­ence and glob­al health to engage­ment with polit­i­cal econ­o­my, sys­tems dynam­ic mod­el­ling, net­work analy­sis, the human­i­ties (e.g. his­to­ry, lit­er­a­ture, dig­i­tal and visu­al media), polit­i­cal sci­ence, psy­chol­o­gy, migra­tion, geog­ra­phy , cli­mate change, busi­ness stud­ies and the law.

In what ways do our increas­ing­ly diverse sets of col­lab­o­ra­tors under­stand and engage with our meth­ods, and what cre­ative col­lab­o­ra­tive pos­si­bil­i­ties might emerge from such engage­ment? How do nov­el meth­ods that seek to cre­ate bridges between anthro­pol­o­gy and oth­er dis­ci­plines cre­ate new enti­ties and new ana­lyt­i­cal spheres of inquiry?

The con­fer­ence will focus on the chal­lenges and oppor­tu­ni­ties of con­tem­po­rary med­ical anthro­pol­o­gy that require engage­ment with trans­la­tion, col­lab­o­ra­tion and com­mu­ni­ca­tion. We invite (but do not restrict) med­ical anthro­po­log­i­cal con­tri­bu­tions to the fol­low­ing impor­tant areas:

Chal­lenges to the qualitative/quantitative dichoto­my as the dis­tinc­tions blur between qual­i­ta­tive and quan­ti­ta­tive forms of inquiry
Trans­la­tion and col­lab­o­ra­tion across, and with­in, the bio­log­i­cal, med­ical and social sciences
Crit­i­cal method­olog­i­cal engage­ments with pub­lic health, free mar­ket ide­olo­gies, tech­no-sci­ence and the pri­vati­sa­tion of care
Inter­pre­tive and crit­i­cal per­spec­tives on method­olog­i­cal prac­tices in the field of glob­al health
Author­i­ty and inequity in process­es of translation
Ethics of inves­tiga­tive and engaged methods
Meth­ods, colo­nial pasts and the decolonis­ing movement
Broad­er issues of pol­i­tics, pow­er, appro­pri­a­tion and vernacularisation

This excit­ing and top­i­cal con­fer­ence invites reflec­tive con­tri­bu­tions and con­ver­sa­tions on meth­ods and method­olo­gies between med­ical anthro­pol­o­gists and with those who work close­ly with us across a range of insti­tu­tion­al and col­lab­o­ra­tive set­tings and diverse health con­di­tions. It encour­ages con­tri­bu­tions report­ing inno­v­a­tive method­olo­gies and com­mu­ni­ca­tion strategies.
