New School doctoral candidate Carol Wang, supervised by Dr. Miriam Ticktin, will investigate China's transition to a liberal market economy, a subject of much scholarly and popular discussion, given its wide-reaching impact on individuals, the environment, and global exchange. This research considers the effects of China's economic transition through AIDS activism, a phenomenon that links the rise of consumer entitlements, the spread of contagious disease, and the influence of international public health and human rights in post-reform China. The research will focus on the emergence of politically engaged HIV-positive individuals and the ways in which they are drawing from international discourses to reframe an epidemiological concern as a problem of human and legal rights. The project will utilize social science methods, including twelve months of participant observation in Beijing and other China locations; structured and semi-structured interviews with Chinese HIV/AIDS activists, Euro-American human rights trainers, and others; and textual analysis of written materials. These methods will allow the researcher to address the multi-directional interconnections between HIV/AIDS and human rights, two global forces that have crossed China's borders as indirect results of state economic policy. This research will bring law and medicine into the same field of inquiry, and will examine how these two overlapping and yet often contradictory regimes of expertise come together as civil society groups engage in processes of professionalization. This research will also illustrate the evolution of China's health care and legal systems during economic liberalization. By examining the situation through the eyes of those who must navigate these bureaucracies, this study may be helpful to national policymakers as well as international agencies invested in the development of these systems. This research is co-funded by the Cultural Anthropology program and the Law and Social Sciences program and will contribute to the training of a graduate student.

新学院博士生Carol Wang在Miriam Ticktin博士的指导下，将研究中国向自由市场经济的过渡，这是一个学术和流行讨论的主题，因为它对个人，环境和全球交流产生了广泛的影响。 本研究认为，中国的经济转型的影响，通过艾滋病活动，一种现象，连接消费者权益的上升，传染病的传播，以及国际公共卫生和人权的影响，在改革后的中国。 研究将侧重于参与政治的艾滋病毒抗体阳性者的出现，以及他们如何从国际讨论中吸取教训，将流行病问题重新界定为人权和法律的权利问题。该项目将利用社会科学方法，包括在北京和中国其他地方进行为期12个月的参与观察;对中国艾滋病毒/艾滋病活动家、欧美人权培训师和其他人进行结构化和半结构化访谈;以及对书面材料进行文本分析。 这些方法将使研究人员能够解决艾滋病毒/艾滋病和人权之间的多方向相互联系，这两种全球性力量作为国家经济政策的间接结果跨越了中国的边界。这项研究将把法律和医学纳入同一调查领域，并将研究这两个重叠但往往相互矛盾的专业知识体系如何在民间社会团体参与专业化进程时走到一起。本研究还将说明中国的医疗保健和法律的制度在经济自由化过程中的演变。本研究通过那些必须驾驭这些官僚机构的人的眼睛来审视这种情况，可能有助于国家决策者以及投资于这些系统发展的国际机构。这项研究由文化人类学计划和法律与社会科学计划共同资助，将有助于培养研究生。
