Ariane Hanemaayer
Senior Research Fellow (Mai 2024-Aug 2024)
Dr.
Ariane Hanemaayer is an associate professor at Brandon University (2016-present) and a visiting scholar at Egenis: Centre for the Study of the Life Sciences at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom (2022–23). Prior to these positions, she was a visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge at the Centre for Research in Arts, Social Science and Humanities (CRASSH) (2019–21). After completing her PhD at the University of Alberta in sociology, with a specialization in theory and culture (2014), she held a Killam Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Dalhousie University (2015–16). Ariane’s research investigates the relationships among medical knowledge, healthcare systems and spaces, algorithmic decision-making technology, and medical governance and regulation. Her career has been guided by complimentary desires: to identify and explain the causes of failures within healthcare among knowledge systems, professions, governance, and science, and to connect that knowledge to care settings and broad audiences. Ariane has written two books, The Impossible Clinic: A Critical Sociology of Evidence-Based Medicine (2019) and Governing the Impossible System: A Critical Sociology of Public Health Policy (under contract with UBC Press), and edited two anthologies, Artificial Intelligence and Its Discontents: Critiques from the Social Sciences and Humanities (2021), and The Public Sociology Debate: Ethics and Engagement (2014). Her new book, tentatively titled An Impossible Science: A Critical Sociology of Pain Management, investigates the intractability of pain in the clinic alongside the regulation of opioids in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States in order to provide an alternative understanding of the opioid crisis. This research is funded by an Insight Grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
