Asunto: [movimenti.bicocca] STM Graduate Student Paper Prize
The Science, Technology, and Medicine interest group of the SMA is

pleased to welcome submissions for the STM Graduate Student Paper
Prize.  This prize is awarded annually for a paper that offers an
innovative anthropological approach to issues in science, technology,
or medicine.    These issues include:

 1.  How scientific research, technological transformation and
professional medicine inform public health policy, popular culture,
and affect the intimate realms of bodily experience;
 2.  The ways laboratory and experimental medicine (both public and
private sector) are influenced by economic and political institutions
and patient mobilization;
 3.  The specificities of the development, regulation, marketing and
distribution of pharmaceuticals and biologics;
 4.  How local experiences of illness and health are refracted through
established modes of discrimination (such as class, race, and gender)
and unequal access to new medical technologies; and
 5.  The extent to which these pragmatic and embodied responses to
medical science and technology shape concepts of personhood and
degrees of political membership.
The author must be enrolled as a graduate student at the time of
submission, and the paper cannot be in press or published at the time
of submission (it can be under review).
The word count should be 6000-8000.  The winner of the prize will be
announced at the 2012 American Anthropological Association Meetings.
The winner will also receive detailed suggestions from the committee
on ways to prepare the article for publication.

Submissions should be emailed by June 1st, 2012 to Ian Whitmarsh:
