Abstract sub­mis­sion dead­line: August 31, 2024

PhD stu­dents world­wide from across the social sci­ences and human­i­ties are wel­come to sub­mit abstracts relat­ed to (re-)emergent modes of gov­er­nance and the gov­er­nance of health and ill­ness dur­ing and after the COVID-19 pan­dem­ic. Dur­ing the work­shop, we will reflect on recon­fig­u­ra­tions of the notion of „glob­al” health and the reshap­ing of care infrastructures.

Stu­dents may respond to either of the fol­low­ing top­ics, regard­less of their aca­d­e­m­ic train­ing or discipline:

Local real­i­ties of the (post-)pandemic land­scape: This pan­el has an ethno­graph­ic focus, zoom­ing in on sit­u­at­ed con­fig­u­ra­tions of health, ill­ness, and gov­er­nance dur­ing and after COVID-19.

The (post-)pandemic biopol­i­tics of glob­al health: This pan­el has a biopo­lit­i­cal focus, invit­ing con­cep­tu­al reflec­tions on social care, pow­er, ter­ri­to­ri­al­iza­tions, pop­u­la­tions, and cit­i­zen­ship; explor­ing the bioso­cial forms of life emerg­ing dur­ing and after the pandemic.

Please see the attached CfP for fur­ther details.
