RESEARCH
My current major research interest is in new medical technologies where I blend insights from Medical Sociology and Science Studies. However, my research interests are wide and varied (see my 2009 Inaugural Lecture). My research focuses on the transformation of social worlds, and explores the links between individuals and institutions, and culture and identity. My aim is to uncover ‘the universal in the particular, and the particular in the universal’ (to borrow a phrase from Pierre Bourdieu). My interdisciplinary work spans the fields of medicine, science and the arts, and often explores the interfaces between these domains.
Since 2001 my research has examined sociological aspects of three main areas: the arts, the biomedical sciences, and philosophy.
1. The Arts (Sociology of the Body & Sociology of the Arts). My study of the Royal Ballet (London), a Bourdieusian ethnography of the balletic body (2001-2004, funded by King's), investigates the institutional and global processes that shape bodies, and the fateful moments of injury and ageing that mould identities. I am developing this first stream of research on high-culture through a series of historical sociologies of opera, painting and ballet which often examine the motif of the embodiment of vulnerability.
2. Biomedical Sciences (Sociology of Medicine & Sociology of Science & Sociology of Ethics). My interest in vulnerable bodies has evolved into the present major focus of my research, the study of new medical technologies, particularly the themes of innovations, bioethics and identities. This work entails four ESRC Stem Cell Initiative (2004-2009) funded projects and fellowships and an ESRC-SSRC Visiting Fellowship which, taken together, explore the interface between the bench and the bedside, and the prospects and problems of stem cell science and translational research in the fields of diabetes, liver disease, neuroscience and genetics, see:
Mapping stem cell innovation in action: an ethnography of the bench-bedside interface (graded 'outstanding' by the ESRC)
Spaces of stem cell science: exploring processes of translational research
Global dynamics of translational stem cell research: UK & US perspectives
Making models of man? UK and Italian perspectives on chimeras and stem cell research
The challenges of translational research in genetics: A US-UK collaboration
I will be developing this work on the interface between the lab and the clinic through a Wellcome Trust Biomedical Ethics Strategic Award which establishes LABTEC - The London & Brighton Translational Ethics Centre (2009-2014). My research within LABTEC explores sociological facets of interdisciplinary research and biomedical ethics in the fields of interspecies embryos and experimental neuroscience, see:
The ethics of translational research: from ‘unnatural entities’ to experimental treatments
3. Philosophy (Social Theory & Philosophy of Social Science). This interdisciplinary LABTEC research (above) brings together Sociology & Ethics which links with my third stream of research on philosophical and theoretical aspects of social science. I currently supervise several PhD and Post-Doctoral students who have a significant theoretical/philosophical element to their research (eg, Watts, spirituality and renal patients; Papanikitas, ethics in general practice; Martire, biopolitics and the body; Mladenov, Heidegger and disability studies; Harvey, the science of nutrigenomics; Brosnan, ethics of experimental neuroscience). I have written a cluster of papers on the value of Bourdieu and Realism for social science research.
BIOGRAPHY
I am a qualitative (medical) sociologist with a background in the social, earth and biomedical sciences. My qualifications include: BSc (Physical) Geography (with Geology minor) (University of Hull), RGN (Charing Cross Hospital, London), MSc Nursing Research (King’s College London), and PhD Sociology (King’s College London). I worked in intensive care (Charing Cross Hospital, London) and taught intensive care nursing (Royal Free Hospital, London) before I joined King’s College London in 1995, where I have held posts as Lecturer, Research Fellow, and Senior Lecturer before my promotion to a Personal Chair as Professor of Sociology of Medicine, Science & the Arts in 2006. Together with Professor Clare Williams, I founded and developed the new Centre for Biomedicine & Society (CBAS) at King's (May 2007 onwards).
KEY PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES
2006-2012 - Editor (one of four), of the leading international journal Sociology of Health & Illness (currently ranked 6/99 for Sociology in the world).
2006-2008 - Member, Associate Editorial Board of the BSA (British Sociological Association) Journal Sociology.
2008-2011 - Panel member, Austrian Federal Ministry for Education, Science and Culture GEN-AU Programme (Austrian National Genome Research Programme), Vienna, Austria.
2009-2012 - Associate Editor, Sociology and Bioethics, Journal of Bioethical Inquiry.
2009-2012 - Honorary Professor, Sydney Medical School, University of Sydney, Australia.
TEACHING
I have developed three new degree programmes within CBAS: the MSc Medicine, Science & Society (started 2007), the Intercalated BSc Medicine, Science & Society (started 2008), and the MA Bioethics & Society (starts 2010). I run the MSc and BSc modules on Translational Research: Linking Medicine, Science & Society. I teach sessions on all CBAS courses (Social Science Approaches to Biomedicine; Social Science, Bioethics & Biomedicine; Science Policy & Society; Dissertation in Medicine, Science & Society) - see our MSc Handbook.
I also have a longstanding research interest in the philosophy of social science and social theory and I have published a series of papers that argue for Realism and/or Bourdieu. Hence (from 2008) I will convene the core MRes course for the School of Social Science & Public Policy on Theory & Methodologies of the Social Sciences.
My current research students include:
Edison Bicudo (Capes PhD), Drug trials in developing countries.
Dr Caragh Brosnan (Wellcome Trust Post-Doc), Experiments perilous? Scientists’ and clinicians’ views on experimental neuroscience;
