Funded Activity Summary

Understanding global biomedical technologies in local realities. This project aims to advance understanding of the constitutive effects of global biotechnologies in local contexts through a case study of couples with mixed HIV status in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The project aims to contribute to scholarship and global debates on how biomedicine and local cultures co-exist and co-articulate in the making of social realities. By mapping the ways HIV treatment and prevention technologies intersect with the cultural, gendered and religious landscapes of PNG, the project is designed to produce new knowledge of the promises and limits of global biotechnologies as their meanings and applications are created, negotiated and contested in the everyday practices of these couples.
