Mathieu Albert is Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Fellowship Programme Director of the Wilson Centre for Research in Education in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto, Canada. His current work primarily focuses on multidisciplinary relationship between academics and struggle for scientific authority in health research. He has published in a wide range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary journals in social science and in medicine, including articles on symbolic boundaries between scientific groups, science policy-making processes, academic assessment criteria, and funding agencies. He received the Sociology of Knowledge and Technology Section Best Paper Award in 2011 for his paper entitled Boundary-Work in the Health Research Field: Biomedical and Clinician Scientists Perceptions of Social Science Research (Minerva, 2009).
Frans Feron is Professor of Social Medicine in particular Child and Adolescent Health and Head of the Department of Social Medicine at Maastricht University, the Netherlands. He has a background in medicine, is trained as a medical doctor (MD), with an official registration as a medical specialist in Community Health and Social Medicine in the field of Child and Youth Health Care. He has over 30 years of expertise in preventive primary care for children and adolescents at the Youth Health Care Division of the Regional Public Health Service, South Limburg. He holds a PhD in Medicine from Maastricht University, where he completed his dissertation based on studies on neurodevelopmental issues in children. His current research activities focus on health, growth and development of children and adolescents, in particular mental health and behavioural problems respectively, and (neuro)developmental issues in children and adolescents.
Claes-Fredrik Helgesson is Professor of Technology and Social Change at Linkping University, Sweden. His research interest concerns in broad terms the intertwining of economic organising, science and technology. The theoretical inspiration comes primarily from economic sociology and social studies of science and technology (STS). His current project Trials of Value, together with Francis Lee, investigates the designing of controlled medical experiments as a site where scientific, medical and economic aspects are deliberated upon when establishing what knowledge is worth pursuing. Helgesson is co-founder and co-editor of Valuation Studies, a new open access journal, which published its first issue in spring 2013. He is co-editor with Isabelle Dussauge and Francis Lee of Valuographies: Studies of Value Practices in the Life Sciences and Medicine (forthcoming, Oxford University Press, 2014).
Brian D. Hodgess research focuses on various aspects of health professional education and practice: competence, assessment, professionalism, and globalisation. He is currently undertaking a three-year SSHRC-funded project together with colleagues at McGill University to study excellence, diversity, and equity in Canadian medical schools admissions processes. He is an active teacher and speaker, both in Toronto and internationally, on qualitative methods, discourse analysis, and various dimensions of competence. He leads the AMS Phoenix Project, a five-year initiative to rebalance compassion with the technical aspects of healthcare.
Klasien Horstman was trained as a philosophical and historical sociologist at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. Her masters thesis dealt with the socio-historical context of the rise of the pragmatist philosophy of language. Her PhD, at Maastricht University, addressed the growing role of predictive and preventive medical expertise and technology in life insurance. Her work since has focused on preventive health technologies. To understand the sciences and cultures of prevention, she works at the interface of philosophy, sociology, and science and technology studies. Between 2001 and 2009 she was an associate professor in Maastricht as well as Socrates Professor in Philosophy and Ethics of Bioengineering at Eindhoven University of Technology. During these years she worked on a number of projects focusing on the ethical and societal consequences of genetic and biomedical technologies. Since 2009 she has been Professor of Philosophy of Public Health at Maastricht University.
Linus Johansson Krafve is a PhD candidate at the Department of Thematic Studies Technology and Social Change, Linkping University, Sweden. He is interested in economic valuation practices in the public sector and its effects on the relations in and between politics, administration, and citizens. His dissertation is about the design of a primary care market in a Swedish county council.
