Sev­en papers mak­ing up this col­lec­tion will be pre­sent­ed (6 min­utes per pre­sen­ta­tion), fol­lowed by Q&A. Through cross-coun­try com­par­i­son, we will illu­mi­nate var­i­ous ways in which nation­al and cul­tur­al­ly embed­ded approach­es to ethics review and con­sent shape ethno­graph­ic research involv­ing old­er adults who live with cog­ni­tive­ly impair­ing con­di­tions, e.g., demen­tia. We will dis­cuss, inter alia, (a) how the lack of capac­i­ty to con­sent to research par­tic­i­pa­tion is “enact­ed” (Mol 2002) through var­i­ous eth­i­cal regimes reg­u­lat­ing ethno­graph­ic field­work with old­er adults liv­ing with cog­ni­tive­ly impair­ing con­di­tions; (b) what are the socio-polit­i­cal insti­tu­tions, social net­works and mate­ri­al­i­ties that affect researchers’ “doing ethics” before, dur­ing and after ethno­graph­ic field­work; © how we as part of the com­mu­ni­ty of prac­tice in gen­er­al, and the Ethics Col­lec­tive of AgeNet in par­tic­u­lar, can respond to the chal­lenges relat­ed to nav­i­gat­ing pro­ce­dur­al and sit­u­at­ed ethics in ethno­graph­ic research involv­ing par­tic­i­pants liv­ing with cog­ni­tive impair­ment, such as demen­tia- what meth­ods, con­cepts and epis­te­molo­gies can we mobi­lize to these ends and with what con­se­quences for the ethics of our discipline?

The webi­nar will host the edi­tors of the spe­cial issue Bar­bara Pieta (Max Planck Insti­tute for Social Anthro­pol­o­gy), Cristi­na Dou­glas (Uni­ver­si­ty of Aberdeen) and Matthew Lar­iv­iere (Northum­bria Uni­ver­si­ty), and the con­trib­u­tors Shvat Eilat (Tel Aviv Uni­ver­si­ty, Israel), Francesco Dio­dati (Uni­ver­sità Cat­toli­ca del Sacro Cuore), James Rupert Fletch­er (Uni­ver­si­ty of Man­ches­ter), Jayme Tauzer (Birm­ing­ham City Uni­ver­si­ty), Emma Jel­strup Balkin (Aal­borg Uni­ver­si­ty), Lily N. Shapiro (Kaiser Per­ma­nente Wash­ing­ton Health Research Insti­tute) and Bar­bara Groot (Lei­den Uni­ver­si­ty Med­ical Cen­tre, Ley­den Acad­e­my on Vital­i­ty and Ageing).

„Health in Gaza: Bear­ing Wit­ness and Build­ing Sol­i­dar­i­ty with Pales­tini­ans. A con­ver­sa­tion on the polit­i­cal econ­o­my of health, right to health in Gaza, and resistance”

ABOUT
With star­va­tion being used as weapon of war in occu­pied Pales­tine, the denial of health care and forced dis­place­ment con­tin­ues to be a real­i­ty for entire pop­u­la­tion in Gaza. We aim to open a con­ver­sa­tion on the polit­i­cal econ­o­my of health care, what does it mean to be a health care prac­ti­tion­er or patient seek­ing right to health. How does one go beyond bear­ing wit­ness and build­ing active solidarity.
