    Healthcare Activism, Marketization, and the Collective Good
    (Oxford University Press, 2021-10)
    Geiger, Susi

    Geiger, Susi 
    This chapter engages with three key dynamics of contemporary healthcare - digitalization, marketization and individualization. It draws on several theoretical frameworks to conceptualize the notion of collective good and to consider how healthcare activism may play into defining and defending the collective good when faced with the outlined societal, economic, and scientific dynamics. Presenting contemporary examples from the Covid-19 pandemic, the chapter argues that the way activists define and defend the collective good can only fully be understood by grasping how this good is shaped by other, often more dominant, stakeholders in healthcare: governmental institutions, professional experts, scientists, and private industry – the latter being a focal point of concern for this current volume.

    Making Room for Care in Markets and in Market Studies
    (Cambridge University Press, 2024)

    Where market studies open ed the theorizing of markets to concerns of various affected publics, we propose a new shift to further destabilize understandings of what markets are and can be. This shift consider s how care, as an affective, ethical and political fo rce figures in markets and, moreover, to make room for care where it may currently be absent. We draw on feminist materialist discussions of care to render explicit the ways in which care circulates in existing markets and in market studies and propo se five avenues for inquiry into care and markets care as a market object; care as a critical market maintenance practice; care as more than concern, more affectively, ethically, and politically committed; care as a basis to rethink market relat ions and construct better fairer and more just markets and, finally, care as a relational force circulating between us as market studies researchers, the objects of our study, our workplaces, and the more than human worlds we belong in. We do not sugg est that care is a panacea for all market ills but offer it as an analytic of provocation something to think with as we imagine and enact future markets.

    Healthcare Activism, Marketization, and the Collective Good
    (Oxford University Press, 2021-09)

    Geiger, Susi 
    This introductory chapter charts the book’s trajectory by engaging with three interlinked key dynamics of contemporary healthcare—marketization, digitalization, and individualization. It draws on several theoretical frameworks to conceptualize notions of the common, collective, or public good and to consider how healthcare activism may play into defining and defending the collective good when faced with the outlined societal, economic, and scientific dynamics. Presenting contemporary examples from the Covid-19 pandemic, the chapter argues that the way activists define and defend the collective good can only fully be understood by grasping how this good is shaped by other, often more dominant, stakeholders in healthcare: governmental institutions, professional experts, scientists, and private industry—the latter being a focal point of concern for this current volume.
