‘Just because I’m smiling doesn’t mean I’m not in pain’: navigating the layered stigma of chronic pain and suicidality in social worlds'

Abstract

The Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences and the Emancipatory Sciences Lab are thrilled to announce the third annual Innovative and Critical Perspectives in the Social Sciences (ICPSS) colloquium. ICPSS is a venue for scholars to share cutting-edge research in the social sciences that uses innovative and/or critical methods or perspectives. This year, we have an exciting lineup featuring faculty members working on issues such as the Global South and transnationalism, science and technology studies, aging studies, and social movements. 

Kristen Harknett, PhD, professor in Social and Behavioral Sciences, was selected as a 2024-2025 Futures Fellow of Stanford University's Education and Learning for Longer Lives initiative. The project brings together talent from across academia, venture capital, philanthropy and the civil sector to imagine a new ecology for developing human potential across century-long lives.
