This two-day workshop will critically assess the failure of clinical research to address the space between efficacy and effectiveness of therapeutic products. We are interested in how particular knowledge producers and users make decisions, the influence of contextual factors on decision-making, and the synthesis of knowledge for evidence-based improvements in practice or policy.
Please note that this is an invitation only workshop and space is limited. Please contact Delthia Miller (Delthia.Miller[at]dal.ca) for details.
The workshop will he held at:
Dalhousie University

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.
