    Knowledge is Power, Ian Hacking, and Racialisation (Sara Paparini)

    This episode of Thinking In Between hears from Dr Sara Paparini, a medical anthropologist and Senior Lecturer in Public Health and Equity at the Wolfson Institute of Population Health, Queen Mary University of London. Sara's research began in HIV but has expanded to applying critical public health and anti-racist lenses to many other areas. Sara shares three big ideas with us in this episode: Knowledge is Power - "Lucky Valley: Edward Long and the History of Racial Capitalism" by Catherine Hall (Cambridge University Press, 2024) and "Medicalizing Blackness: Making Racial Differences in the Atlantic World, 1780-1840" by Rana Hogarth (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2017), 156-157 Ian Hacking on "Making People Up". The particular lecture that Sara discusses is Kinds of People: Moving Targets, which he presented at the British Academy in 2007. Another key text is "The Taming of Chance" by Ian Hacking (Cambridge University Press, 2014) Racialisation - a particular malevonent form of "making people up", which Sara uses Hacking's work to understand. Sara shares from "Abolition Geography: Essays Towards Liberation" by Ruth Wilson Gilmore (Verso, 2022)

    Social Pedagogy, Act Early, and Urban Childhoods (Claire Cameron and Deniz Arzuk)

    In this episode, we're joined by Professor Claire Cameron and Dr Deniz Arzuk from the Social Research Institute in University College London. They bring three ideas that have shaped their work and thinking: 1) Social Pedagogy is a discipline common in much of continental Europe that reframes professional "care" provided to children, focusing on ethics, justice, meaningful activities, and relationships. 2) Act Early is a research study about "early life changes to improve the health and opportunities for children living in areas with high levels of child poverty". Here, Claire and Deniz describe learning from working closely with local councils, and what counts as evidence. 3) Urban Childhoods is a forthcoming book (UCL Press, 2025) edited by Claire, which explores "Growing up in inequality and hope". In this part of the discussion, Claire and Deniz how the sociology of childhood adds value to public health and urban studies.
