Cancer's Margins and the Choreography of Knowledge: Toward a Queer Biopolitics and the Mobilization of Public Health Knowledge
EF 2011-12
Résumé
The commitment to democratization entails securing both the "right to health" (WHO, 2007) and the related "right to knowledge" (UNESCO, 2010). Sexual orientation and gender minority status are frequently overlooked in the identification of "unique populations" vis-a-vis cancer health disparities and related knowledge and treatment divides. This project addresses the escalating need in Canadian public health for evidence that will assist sexual/gender minority health programs, community cancer health organizations, and healthcare professionals in the design of culturally competent healthcare systems. The purpose of this three-year study is to articulate how, in practice, sexual orientation and gender, in diverse locations, shape 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.

Abstract
The commitment to democratization entails securing both the "right to health" (WHO, 2007) and the related "right to knowledge" (UNESCO, 2010). Sexual orientation and gender minority status are frequently overlooked in the identification of "unique populations" vis-a-vis cancer health disparities and related knowledge and treatment divides. This project addresses the escalating need in Canadian public health for evidence that will assist sexual/gender minority health programs, community cancer health organizations, and healthcare professionals in the design of culturally competent healthcare systems. The purpose of this three-year study is to articulate how, in practice, sexual orientation and gender, in diverse locations, shape 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.
