SUMMARY:Jenny TRINITAPOLI (University of Chicago) - “An Epidemic of Uncertainty ”
DESCRIPTION:Sociology Seminar: Thursdays\nTime: 12:00 pm – 1:15 pm – \nDate: 7th of April 2022\nPlace: visio \nJenny TRINITAPOLI (University of Chicago) – “An Epidemic of Uncertainty” \nAbstract : In her forthcoming book\, An Epidemic of Uncertainty\, Trinitapoli advances a new model for studying social life by emphasizing something that social scientists routinely omit from our theories\, models\, and measures – what people know they don’t know. The book takes Malawi’s ongoing AIDS epidemic as its entry-point for understanding the stakes of uncertainty. After a four-decades-long battle\, the standard global-health metrics have started to point to good news: new infections are down\, prevalence has stabilized\, life-saving antiretroviral drugs are widely available\, mother-to-child transmission is lower than ever\, and AIDS-related mortality has declined. But in the wake of pandemic AIDS\, an epidemic of uncertainty persists. In Malawi\, adult prevalence of HIV has been steady at roughly 14% since 2000; yet at any given point in time\, half the young-adult population doesn’t know their HIV status. I argue that AIDS-related uncertainty is measurable\, pervasive\, and impervious to biomedical solutions. The consequences of uncertainty are pertinent to multiple domains of life including relationship stability\, fertility\, health\, and well-being. Even as HIV is transformed from a progressive\, fatal infection to a chronic and manageable condition\, the accompanying epidemic of uncertainty remains central to understanding social life in this part of the world. \nOrganizers : \nSofian EL ATIFI\, Etienne OLLION\, Patrick PRÄG (Pôle de Sociologie du CREST)\nSponsors :\nCREST \n
