Funded Activity Summary
Complementary and Alternative Medicine Degrees: New Configurations of Knowledge, Professional Autonomy and the University . This project explores complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) university degrees as sites of professional and epistemological claims-making. The emergence of CAM degrees is thought to signify CAM's increased professional status in relation to biomedicine, yet the actual constitution of CAM within the university has not been studied. By identifying the factors influencing the form and content of CAM degrees, this project will gauge the relative autonomy of different CAM modalities and their evolving relation to biomedicine. More broadly, this project will produce a better theoretical framework for understanding the shifting relationship between knowledge, professional autonomy and the university in the context of the health professions.Funded Activity Details
