Ethical issues: scientific & technological developments; Medical sociology; Impact of science & technology on society

From health tracking to diet apps to biohacking, technology is changing how we relate to our material, embodied selves.

Drawing from a range of disciplines and case studies, this volume looks at what makes these health and genetic technologies unique and explores the representation, communication and internalization of health knowledge.

Showcasing how power and inequality are reflected and reproduced by these technologies, discourses and practices, this book will be a go-to resource for scholars in science and technology studies as well as those who study the intersection of race, gender, socio-economic status, sexuality and health.

Reviews for Genetic Science and New Digital Technologies: Science and Technology Studies and Health Praxis

"""Wide-ranging in its theoretical and substantive bases, this timely collection provides a fix for the curious about what biomedicine is, can and should be in the age of digital transformation."" Catherine Montgomery, University of Edinburgh ""Conceptually sophisticated and empirically rich, this excellent collection of essays engages with one of the most pressing questions of our time: how to centre ethics, justice and care in the analysis and application of new health technologies."" Maria Fannin, University of Bristol"
