TRRU is an interdisciplinary team of  researchers led by medical anthropologist and Canada Research Chair, Professor Janice Graham. We draw from anthropology, sociology, biomedicine and political science to study configurations of technoscience and risk. 

Our research group at Dalhousie University in Halifax uses a science and technology studies conceptual framework and multi-sited ethnographic methodological approach to understand how scientific and cultural facts emerge. While our primary research site is Canada, our members have conducted research in Burkina Faso, Colombia and the United Kingdom.
