Mia Harrison is a transdisciplinary Research Fellow at the Centre for Social Research in Health (CSRH) at UNSW. Her work is informed by approaches in science and technology studies (STS), critical medical humanities, and sociology of health and illness. Mia's research explores the temporalities, places, materials, and affects of situated practices and complex social assemblages. She brings this conceptual thinking to bear on varied areas of research including: practices of health/care, particularly in relation with infectious diseases; experiences of long-term illness and disability; health and social systems and policies; production of scientific evidence; practices of eating; social inequalities.
Mia's work is characterised by critical and creative qualitative methodologies that attend to the materiality and temporality of research. She is particularly interested in affective methods that think across and beyond disciplinary conventions.
