Funded Activity Summary

Outbreak science: a social study of wastewater evidence, viruses and drugs. This project aims to develop new understandings of how evidence is made, and how ‘evidence-enough’ is translated for policy, in situations of urgency and uncertainty. Outbreak science indicates how evidence-making might be done differently to improve responses. By innovatively drawing on sociological approaches, this project expects to advance the theory and practice of outbreak science, and examine critically its potential, through a timely study of one emerging technology of outbreak science, wastewater analysis, tracing its use in illicit drugs policy and infection control of viruses. Expected benefits include optimising how evidence is used for policy in situations of novel event, emergency and uncertainty, enabling better responses.
