Wednesday, July 16, 2014: 5:30 PM-7:20 PM
Room: Booth 60
RC38 Biography and Society (host committee)

Language: English

This session seeks to explore the constructed reality of social problems through narratives told by insiders. When we consider social problems, we try to solve them from outsiders’ perspectives by regarding them as problems to society. In this session we would like to understand social problems by listening to insiders’ narratives about them. In doing so, we may see what the most important aspect of the problems for those facing them is and provide a different insight into the problems from that of outsiders. Topics in social problems in this session will include the relationship between doctors and patients with HIV tainted blood, that between nurses and terminal care patients, that between ethnic minorities and majorities and the other related ones. Anyone who has conducted life story interviews with insiders of any social problem is encouraged to attend this session and discuss the problem from multiple perspectives.
