Call for Papers: Frictions of Futurity in Transplant Medicine<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Dr. Suze Berkhout’s research group at the University Health Network is looking for contributors to submit papers for a special section of Catalyst: Feminism, Theory, Technoscience Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This special themed section of Catalyst<\/em> asks, \u201cWhat kinds of futures are materialized when transplant medicine is brought into conversation with questions about life, liveability, difference, and thriving?\u201d<\/strong> The group seek to illuminate central tensions surrounding the curative intent of transplantation and explore the field as a site of deep ambivalence with respect to futurity. They seek work that challenges what they believe they know about experiences that exist across the span of transplantation and work that challenges\u00a0<\/em>how we know these same challenges, bringing together artistic expression, biomedical understandings, and crip and feminist science and technology studies (STS) insights. The group invites those working at critical intersections in STS, particularly critical disability studies and feminist STS, to bring their practices, methods, and critical scholarship to bear on the field of transplantation as well as transplant-related technologies and sciences.<\/p>\n

The group welcomes a range of formats for papers, and invite both scholarly articles and shorter, experimental contributions that creatively and critically investigate transplant, including commentaries, visual essays, roundtables, reviews, or other innovative formats.<\/strong> Interdisciplinary research, co-authored submissions, and submissions from those with lived experience of transplantation are particularly welcome. They are especially interested in contributions that reflect on futurity as an unstable horizon that requires innovation in methods and practices\u2014from arts-based methods and research creation, to sound studies, to social geographies, to ethnography\u2014to engage a diversity of approaches in STS that help to understand issues such as the liminality of being waitlisted, the challenges of adhering to strict regimens to preserve a transplanted organ, or the not-infrequent experience of graft rejection.<\/p>\n<\/div>
