■ 概要

ハードサイエンスの専門的知見と、コミュニティーベースのヴァナキュラーな知とは、互いにどのように影響し、対立し、あるいは利しあうのか。科学者自身のアイデンティティと切り離しがたいパースペクティブは、そこにどう影響するのか。特定のコミュニティに根差しつつ、コミュニティを超えたメッセージを発し社会制度に介入していくために、専門家には何が必要とされるのか。

本講演会では、米国CDCのHIV予防部門長、さらには国立予防接種・呼吸器疾患センター所長を務め、現在はニューヨークのLGBTQ+向け医療機関 Callen-Lorde Community Health Centerの最高医療責任者であり、ニューヨーク市長ゾーラン・マムダニの政権移行チームメンバーでもある、Demetre C. Daskalakis博士をお招きし、ご自身の経験を踏まえたお話をいただく。

■ Event concept
How do the specialized expertise of the hard sciences and community-based vernacular knowledge influence each other, come into conflict, or alternatively benefit one another? How are perspectives inseparable from scientists’ own identities involved there? What is required of experts in order to issue messages that go beyond the community while keeping a particular community in view, and to intervene in social institutions? For this lecture, we are delighted to welcome Dr. Demetre C. Daskalakis. Dr. Daskalakis served as Director of the Division of HIV Prevention at the U.S. CDC, and further as Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. He is currently Chief Medical Officer of Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, a healthcare provider for LGBTQ+ people in New York. Drawing on his own experience, Dr. Daskalakis will address these questions and share his insights with us.
