Funded PhD Opportunity: Sports-Related Concussion: A Socio-Historical Analysis - Ulster University Supervisors: Dr Katie Liston and Dr Ian Miller https://www.ulster.ac.uk/ doctoralcollege/find-a-phd/ 344756 Summary: Social epidemiology is broadly concerned with the ways in which social, political, cultural and economic structures, institutions and relationships influence health. In that regard, the sports-related brain injury known as concussion has both a neurological and social basis: it being the only injury that one international sports board (the IRB) seeks to define, and along with blood injuries, is subject to specific regulation. This project sets out to rebalance the information asymmetry associated with concussion in sport, that is, the predominance of the bio-scientific approach. The project will redress this imbalance by examining the injury from a socio-historical perspective with a number of possible research avenues: an examination of the hi...

Two funded PhD positions are available at the Institute for Medical History and Science Study at the University of Lübeck in the context of the project  “The Construction of Diagrams of Relatedness in the History of Natural History and Genetics, 17th to 20th Centruies”. The project is funded by the Swiss National Foundation as part of the Sinergia-Grant “In the Shadow of the Tree. Diagrammatics of Relatedness as Scientific, Scholarly, and Popular Practice” (Prof. M.

The main theme of this conference, Technology and Power, seeks to interrogate the various roles technologies have played in the development of power relations in the past, in different parts of the world. Political power (local, state, and inter-state) is the most obvious of these, but relations of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, labour, age, and so on, also include elements of power. Technologies have instrumental, mediating, undermining, reinforcing, and constructive roles in all of these relations. Some technologies have been used by...

Por la hegemonía de ciertas masculinidades que pueden impactar tanto en la salud de los hombres como en la de las mujeres, o la vulnerabilidad de segmentos masculinos marginados y subordinados, diversas asociaciones, revistas y publicaciones pasaron a ocuparse del tema en términos de morbilidad, mortalidad y expectativa de vida. Aunque hay una considerable producción sobre el tema, resulta necesario actualizar el conocimiento y la discusión con el fin de profundizar las relaciones entre la salud de los hombres, las identidades de género y la diversidad de orientaciones sexuales. A partir de esta perspectiva, el presente número de la revista  Salud Colectiva  convoca a la presentación de trabajos que ...
