Making Gender: Big Pharma, HPV Vaccine Policy, and Women's Ontological Decision-

Description: Making Gender by Michelle Wyndham-West This book aims to understand how gender and risk have been incorporated into womens decision-making around the HPV vaccine. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book aims to understand how gender and risk have been incorporated into womens decision-making around the HPV vaccine.Making Gender endeavours to understand how the HPV vaccine became gendered within the Canadian policy landscape - when the virus is gender blind and is linked to cancer in all genders - and how womens experiences with this gendered risk have been folded into their vaccine decision-making.Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and archival research, Michelle Wyndham-West explores the creation and circulation of gendered risk as it was deployed in pharmaceutical and policy discourses surrounding the rollout of the HPV vaccine. The book contextualises the background for how gendered risk was mediated by two groups of women: mothers negotiating the vaccine for their daughters in school-based immunisation programs and university students who experienced frequent HPV infections. The book explores these womens efforts to be good mothers and strong young women entering adulthood who felt vulnerable in sexual health negotiation. As a result, Making Gender reveals how vaccine decision-making took an ontological form, as an inherently social and cultural process embedded in womens experiences. Author Biography Michelle Wyndham-West is the graduate program director of the Design for Health and Inclusive Design programs and an assistant professor in the Faculty of Design at OCAD University.

Conclusion: Theoretical Contributions and Reassessing Gender-Based Analysis Policymaking NotesReferencesIndex Review " Making Gender offers a multimodal methodology - ethnographic interviews, marketing image and document analysis, longitudinal news analysis, policy content analysis - on a hot-button public health topic: HPV vaccination and vaccine campaigns in Canada between 2007 and 2017. This highly readable and well-written book fills a gap in the literature by providing a lively scholarly account that considers public commentary alongside the voices of women as they grapple with the decision of whether to vaccinate themselves or their children." --Kristin Bright, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Middlebury College" Making Gender is a welcome addition to social and health science literature on HPV. Wyndham-West sheds light on how the HPV vaccine became gendered, how women engage with notions of risk and gender, and how such notions inform HPV-related decision-making. This book is a major contribution to research in medical anthropology on HPV."--Nolan Kline, Assistant Professor, Health Behavior and Health Systems, University of North Texas Health Science Center School of Public Health Details ISBN1487509200 Author Michelle Wyndham-West Publisher University of Toronto Press Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781487509200 Format Hardcover Imprint University of Toronto Press Subtitle Big Pharma, HPV Vaccine Policy, and Womens Ontological Decision-Making Place of Publication Toronto Country of Publication Canada Illustrations 3 b&w figures, 3 b&w tables ISBN-10 1487509200 UK Release Date 2023-12-21 Audience Tertiary & Higher Education Pages 176 AU Release Date 2023-10-31 DEWEY 362.196911 Publication Date 2023-08-28 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
