| Sumario: | By this logic, projects related to health go through the medical IRB and those related to culture or social relationships go through the social science IRB. The IRB gained power from the mandate that any institution receiving federal grant money must have an Institutional Review Board (IRB) to oversee the ethics of research. This relational framework is useful for unpacking how modernist science structures both health and the IRB and the ways this structuring rendered Gogo's risk of illness not only invisible, but also impossible. In this short piece, I unpack the IRB (Institutional Review Board) and Gogo's case of umeqo to better understand the ethical obligations to care for research subjects and the possibilities of ethnographic research within an institutional framework that divides biomedical and social science research. |
