Please note: the deadline for this call for papers has now passed
We are now accepting submissions for a cross-disciplinary in-person workshop in New Delhi on December 13, 14, and 15, 2024, on the topic of "The Biopolitics of Global Health after Covid-19."
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.
