Critical Doses: Nurturing Diversity in Psychedelic Studies
In this introduction to the thematic issue Critical Psychedelic Studies we argue that many and diverse critical analyses of psychedelic cultures and practices are needed to counter the current hype around the biomedicalization of psychedelic substances. The social sciences and humanities offer insights and methods to resist appropriation and to establish community based ethical practices. The assembled articles and book reviews indicate an urgenc…
Decolonization is a metaphor towards a different ethic. The case from psychedelic studies
Indigenous psychedelic uses have long been imbricated with colonialism and its afterlives. Amidst tensions from accelerating investor interest in psychedelics and calls to decolonize research and practices, we argue that the study of psychedelics is troubled by dualisms used in both colonial and decolonial thought: subject and object, self and other, culture and nature, synthetic and natural, the colonizer and the indigenous, the literal and the …
Philosophy and Psychedelics: Frameworks for Exceptional Experience
What do psychedelics reveal about consciousness? What impact have psychedelics had on philosophy? In this rapidly growing area of study, this is the first volume to explore the philosophy of psychedelic experience, from a range of interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspectives. In doing so, Philosophy and Psychedelics reveals just why the place of psychedelics in our societies should not be left to medical sciences alone, as psychedelic experi…

Heritable Genome Editing in a Global Context: National and International Policy Challenges
A central problem for the international governance of heritable germline gene editing is that there are important differences in attitudes and values as well as ethical and health care considerations around the world. These differences are reflected in a complicated and diverse regulatory landscape. Several publications have discussed whether reproductive uses would be legally permissible in individual countries and whether clinical applications …
The genome factor. What the social genomics revolution reveals about ourselves, our history & the future
Given an arising "social genomics revolution", Dalton Conley and Jason Fletcher aim to provide general readers with an analysis of how contemporary genomics data might inform social policy. The boo
Standards, Harmonization and Cultural Differences: Examining the Implementation of a European Stem Cell Clinical Trial
A complex set of European regulations aims to facilitate regenerative medicine, harmonizing good clinical and manufacturing standards and streamlining ethical approval procedures. The sociology of standardization has elaborated some of the effects of regulation but little is known about how such implementation works in practice across institutions and countries in regenerative medicine. The effects of transnational harmonization of clinical trial…
The hybrid bioeconomy of umbilical cord blood banking: Re-examining the narrative of opposition between public and private services
Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is an important source for stem cells used in clinical treatments. For this purpose, UCB has to be collected at birth and stored in biobanks. The discourse about UCB biobanking practices commonly holds that it occurs in two opposite economies, the public sector and a competing private one. They correspond with moral economies of gift-giving in a redistributive economy versus private ownership of cord blood in a market e…
Hybrid practices in cord blood banking. Rethinking the commodification of human tissues in the bioeconomy
The STS and bioethical literature on umbilical cord blood (UCB) banking nowadays discusses the field as divided into opposite institutional arrangements, public versus private banking. Public banks represent a model-sharing economy; private banks represent a market economy that capitalizes hopes and tissues, and new hybrid forms that are emerging. We challenge that this distinction is analytically valuable for understanding the various forms of m…
Genetic geographies: The Trouble With Ancestry
Catherine Nash's book is an excellent study on genomic science as an agent in the societal reformatting of cultural identity and belonging. Much has been published on ancestry and genetics, but thi
Suspect technologies: Forensic testing of asylum seekers at the UK border
The entanglement of border control technologies and immigration policies and practices with discourses of race, national identity and belonging has long been a focus of scholarly interest. In this paper we discuss the Human Provenance Pilot Project (HPPP), the aim of which was to evaluate the utility of genetic and isotope testing to corroborate asylum seekers' accounts of their nationality. We subject the HPPP to a detailed socio-technical analy…
Race and the Genetic Revolution: Science, Myth and Culture
The similarities and differences among humankind have been a central theme in knowledge production, and modern biological and medical science has contributed much to the formation of race. Race and

A Faustian bargain?” Public voices on forensic DNA technologies and the National DNA Database
This article draws on the idea of the ‘forensic imaginary’ (Williams 2010) to explore UK public perspectives on the place, role and significance of forensic DNA technologies, both independent of and in relation to other genetic applications. Using correspondents’ replies to the Spring 2006 Mass Observation Directive ‘Genes, Genetics and Cloning’, the analysis focuses on continuities and tensions in their discursive repertoires. The argument exami…
Cardiac stem cell research: Regulation and practice in the UK and Germany
Debates on the regulation of stem cell research (SCR) tend to center on the governance of ethically contested stem cells (i.e. human embryonic), focus on the macro-dynamics of science development and the role of legislative bodies, and rely on documentary resources. They also largely ignore regulatory dynamics in adult SCR, where clinical trials have brought SCR closer to application. This article examines the contextual elaboration of novel medi…
The clinician-scientist: Professional Dynamics in Clinical Stem Cell Research
Clinical applications of biomedical research rely on specialist knowledge provided by professionals who straddle research and therapy, and possess both medical and scientific expertise. To date, this professional group remains under-explored in sociology. Our article presents a case study of clinician-scientists working in stem cell research for heart repair in the UK and Germany who are engaged in double-blind randomised clinical trials using pa…
Framing pluripotency: IPS cells and the shaping of stem cell science
In the last decade, the pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells, i.e. their capacity to differentiate into any cell of the body and multiply endlessly, has encouraged visions and hopes for a new regenerative medicine. However, research with human embryos and cells derived from them is ethically controversial and different regulatory frameworks have developed across countries. In 2007, induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells were generated that ha…
Stem cells clinical trials for cardiac repair: Regulation as Practical Accomplishment
Macro-analyses on the regulation of new biomedical objects tend to focus on discursive structures and legislative categories in science policy debates at national and cross-national levels, but overlook how actors engage in regulatory practices on an everyday basis. Based on data from ethnographic fieldwork in British and German clinics, and 32 interviews with medical staff, this article provides an insight into the regulation of adult stem cell …
Genes, genomes and identity. Projections on matter
This paper aims to show that references to genes and genomes are counterproductive in legal and political understandings of what it is to be human and a unique individual. To support this claim, I will give a brief overview of the many incompatible meanings the term 'identity' has gathered in reference to genes or genome in the contexts of biology and family ancestry, personal identity, species identity. One finds various and incompatible underst…
