Race, Genetics, and Health
The editors of this journal issue have provoked us to consider whether or not “race” should ever be part of a scientific apparatus. Is it possible, their questions imply, for something as slippery as this concept to be used for anything but stratified inequity? In my response, I define the sets of terms needed to begin to answer this question and then lay out my philosophy of a materiosemiotics from which worldmaking emerges. Only from this found…
Potential Futures for a Healthy City
This paper is a community-based case study that is used to explore the potentialities of community knowledge for understanding human well-being. Examining how local expertise is mobilized to transform social inequities of health, I clarify the relationship between the potential and potency of community knowledge, the former oriented toward the future and the latter toward an actionable present. Readers are first introduced to a community-based he…

Making the Mexican Diabetic
This innovative ethnographic study animates the racial politics that underlie genomic research into type 2 diabetes, one of the most widespread chronic diseases and one that affects ethnic groups disproportionately. Michael J. Montoya follows blood donations from "Mexican-American" donors to laboratories that are searching out genetic contributions to diabetes. His analysis lays bare the politics and ethics of the research process, addressing the…
Dialogical Action
Proponents of community-based research advocate for the active involvement and engagement of community members, citing improved construct validity, intervention efficacy, and accountability. However, to create the conditions in which expertise is mutually constructed and in which no one is the object of research, a reconsideration of the fundamental ethos of community involvement and engagement is required. In this article, we seek to accomplish …
Bioethnic Conscription
This article is an examination of academic, corporate, and state-funded alliance of molecular, biological, computer, and clinical scientists who are conducting research into the genetic epidemiology of type 2 diabetes. Because type 2 diabetes affects human groups differently, researchers use ethnic and racial taxonomies to parse populations and social history to rationalize their categorical choices. In a process termed "bioethnic conscription," …

Nodes and Queries
This article, based on a collaborative research project on genetic knowledge production, examines the relations between on- and off-line field sites related to three heritable diseases: epidermolysis bullosa, chondrodysplasia, and Marfan syndrome. Field sites include the Web sites, listservs, and chat rooms run by lay health advocacy groups and biomedical professionals as well laboratories, clinics, and support groups meetings. The analysis uses …
