Research summary > [Click to expand]

Political rationalities and technologies of government and regulation, both generally and of biomedicine. Social aspects of the life sciences and biomedicine. Current research concerns biological and genetic psychiatry and behavioural neuroscience, and its social, ethical, cultural and legal implications. This is the topic of a three year ESRC funded Professorial Research Fellowship and a linked programme of research. The research programme focuses on the political, social, legal and economic implications of recent developments in the brain sciences and neurotechnologies, and the concomitant changes in ideas about normality and abnormality, in the distinction between cure and enhancement, and in the borderlines between illness and health. In particular, the research examines the emergence of novel ways for the government of human mental life and conduct and their consequences. Also Chair of the European Neuroscience and Society Network.
