Cancer's Margins and the Choreography of Knowledge: Genders, Sexualities and the Queer Biopolitics of Access to Health Knowledge Mobilization
FY 2011-12
Summary
Sexual orientation and gender minority status are frequently overlooked in the identification of "unique populations" vis-à-vis cancer health disparities and related knowledge and treatment divides. The purpose of this study is to articulate how, in practice, the social determinants of sexual orientation and gender operate to constrain both access to cancer health knowledge, and critically, its actual mobilization in treatment and survivor health decision-making. Cancer health and care professionals, in Canada (and elsewhere) would benefit, we hold, from a better understanding of how groups that are historically marginalized in health care settings and discourses negotiate an invariably complex choreography of knowledge in health and care decision-making.
