3. (FEMINIST) POLITICAL AND SOCIAL THEORY

Strengths: most concerned with our daily lives and overall broad impact on all members of society
Weaknesses: lacks attention to role of science/technology (yet sometimes errs in trying to emulate a idealistic rigid notion of “science” in its grand theorizing)
Gaps: tends not to be able to theorize on a large and broad level while still giving significant attention to the variegated nature of social publics (feminist and postcolonial theorists have attempted to redress this)

a. SUBJECTIVITIES, CITIZENSHIP (FEMINIST TRANSNATIONAL THEORY)
Gaps: feminist transnational theory focuses only on particular areas of science and various subjects—feminist environmental literature, reproductive technology literature, and critique of development literature
Interrogative trajectory: What kinds of subjects and citizens are made (and how are our lives affected) by the changes in bioscience/biotechnology/public health through the effects of Bioterrorism discourse and practices?

b. GOVERNANCE, BIO-POLITICS
Gaps: tends to lack role of science in theories
Interrogative trajectory: How is the social body constituted unequally? What and how do institutions use science, bioterrorism, and public health to police and govern?

c. NATIONAL SECURITY/SURVEILLANCE/TERROR THEORY
Gaps: tends to lack role of science in theories
Interrogative trajectory: What needs to be done in the area of National Security policy? How are different society members affected by national security? What role might the (merging of) science, bioterrorism, and public health play?

2. PUBLIC HEALTH

Strengths: ideal site of visibility of intersection between notions of “science” and “politics”, public health as a site of socio-political regulation, public health also a site of divergent causality
Weaknesses:
Gaps:

a. DISEASE DISCOURSE, MODELS AND APPLICATIONS (FEMINIST SCIENCE STUDIES)
Gaps: contextualize public health construction of bodies in a globally transnational economic and socio-political context
Interrogative trajectory: How can we understand how the health of bodies and its regulation are constructed in the current context (of DHHS-DOD/DHS merge)?

b. GENDER, POSTCOLONIAL HISTORY/IMPERIAL PRESENT (FEMINIST TRANSNATIONAL THEORY AND POSTCOLONIAL THEORY)
Gaps: connect work on systemic institutions of public health by feminist transnational theorists (which is the section of feminist theory that has battled the Eurocentrism and disciplinary narrowness of many sections of feminist theory, and tends to focus on only the most obviously relevant aspects of science/technology that relate to women, such as reproduction) and postcolonial theorists (which tends to ignore gender)
Interrogative trajectory: How can we understand the role of Public Health emerging in relation to National Security and its role in past colonial/ current imperial contexts?

1. SCIENCE STUDIES

Strengths: politicizes science, challenges scientific authority, discusses differential participation and applications of science, challenges objectivity, interdisciplinary knowledge production
Weaknesses: assumes a pure space of “science” as a starting point, assumes binary separations, not integrated with political; ignores nation, Eurocentric
Gaps: Science Studies as a whole lacks theory, focuses on case studies and positivist methodologies, except Feminist Science Studies and Postcolonial studies, which are both very good at social identity-based theorizing in particular; political economy is strong in most science studies except for Feminist Science Studies; Postcolonial Science Studies lacks gender analysis; areas that bridge many of these gaps include the feminist environmental literature, reproductive technology literature, and critique of development literature.

a. CONSTRUCTION OF BIOLOGICAL BODIES (FEMINIST SCIENCE STUDIES)
Gaps: disconnect between various levels of bodies/entities, from cells to humans to social bodies, and from nature to culture, all in a globally transnational economic and socio-political context
Interrogative trajectory: How is science and the construction of bodies a (discursive) backdrop to GWOT? How can the merging of Public Health and National Security structures be contextualized within these different levels of body construction?

b. RISK/ SCIENTIFIC AUTHORITY, (BIO-)SECURITY, POLITICAL ECONOMY OF BIOTECH/EPIDEMIOLOGY
Gaps: relationship between political economy of biotech and bio-security, and both in a globally transnational context; the role of information and code in shaping risk and security is underemphasized in importance
Interrogative trajectory: How does the history and political economy of Bioterrorism (and Biotech) contextualize Bioterrorism’s effects on Public Health and National Security? How is the discourse of risk and scientific authority shaping them?

c. LAY CITIZEN PARTICIPATION-ENGAGEMENT
Gaps: different understandings of publics by various sections of Science Studies; contextualizing participation and activism around science in a globally transnational context
Interrogative trajectory: What kinds of resistance can and do occur in response to the Public Health-National Security nexus? How does Bioterrorism shape (variegated) people’s engagement with Public Health and Bioscience/Biotechnology?
