DESCRIPTION:In this CoDE lunchtime seminar\, Dr Ulla McKnight (University
  of Sussex) shares her research.\n\nSUMMARY\nThe seminar examines the co
 ntroversial use of racialised categories as markers of vulnerability to 
 Trichomonas vaginalis (T. vaginalis) infection\, the most common non-vir
 al sexually transmitted infection globally. Based on ethnographic observ
 ations and interviews with healthcare providers in sexual health clinics
  across four NHS trusts in England\, Ulla McKnight explores how this pra
 ctice aims to identify and treat asymptomatic T. vaginalis infections wh
 ile managing limited budgets and addressing racialised health inequaliti
 es. \n\nDrawing on theoretical approaches that conceptualise race as a t
 echnology— she contends that T. vaginalis becomes racialised through the
 se processes and (the geographical vicissitudes of) race become the expl
 anation for vulnerability to T. vaginalis infection. This linkage forecl
 oses deeper exploration into T. vaginalis – where it may or may not be a
 nd why it might (not) be there – without evoking and thus enacting\, rac
 e as the underlying cause or source of infection. By tethering T. vagina
 lis to racialised categories\, the practice shapes not only clinical und
 erstandings of infection but also the lived experiences of illness. The 
 talk contributes to sociological understandings of disease by showing ho
 w race is part of disease even when it is seemingly absent and this has 
 important effects on understandings of illness and on efforts to prevent
  STIs\, reduce racialised health inequalities and mitigate the risks of 
 antimicrobial resistance (AMR).\n\n\nHOW TO JOIN US\nYou can attend this
