Personal profile

Research interests

Kari Lancaster is Professor in Social Studies of Science and Health, in the Department of Social and Policy Sciences, at the University of Bath.

Informed by Science and Technology Studies (STS), health sociology, and policy studies, her research focuses on the critical social study of evidence-making practices and intervention translations in health.

Professor Lancaster is recognised for contributing theory-informed, as well as theory-innovating, empirical social science research in her specific fields of focus (drugs and addiction, and infectious disease including hepatitis C, HIV, and Covid-19). She has a genuine commitment to interdisciplinarity through bringing together critical social scientists with those engaged in the development, trial and transfer of evidence and interventions into policy and practice.

Her current work explores the relations between science, policy, evidence and intervention amidst transformative global changes affecting health, with a focus on outbreak and viral elimination.

Professor Lancaster is an Editor of Science, Technology & Human Values.
