Study objective: To explore the extent to which the gendered framework in which diagnostic categories are operationalised influences the nature of lived experience in conditions that contravene normative femininity. Methods: Working within the theoretical overlap of social constructionist and critical realist thought, this research will further develop understandings of how diagnostic categories are interpreted in gendered contexts, in ways that may influence lived experiences of illness. Two under-researched groups - women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and women with high-functioning autism (ASC) - are case studies of intrinsic interest, and form the basis of an in-depth sociological analysis of chronic illness as a gendered experience. A discourse analysis of medical and cultural representations of PCOS and ASC (in the MA dissertation) supports the doctoral level exploration of women's experiences, in particular, experiences of diagnosis and stigma. A mixed-methods approach (quantitative surveys and qualitative photo-diary interviews) will enable the selection of a diverse sample and will accommodate anticipated diversity in communication preferences. Alongside statistical analysis, a genealogical approach to qualitative data analysis will draw on Foucault and Goffman to offer insight into how interpersonal exchanges and institutional power shape women's experiences of diagnosis and stigma. Contribution: Analysing two conditions which could be considered to contravene normative femininity, this research will generate knowledge that contributes to long-standing debates about healthcare experiences as a gendered phenomenon. It will extend sociological knowledge relating to possible healthcare inequalities among women with PCOS and ASC, and add to our understanding at the intersection between gender, health and identity.

试验目的：探讨在何种程度上的性别框架，其中诊断类别的可操作性的影响生活经验的性质，违反规范的女性气质的条件。研究方法：在社会建构主义和批判现实主义思想的理论重叠的工作，本研究将进一步发展如何诊断类别的性别背景下解释的理解，在可能影响疾病的生活经验的方式。两个研究不足的群体--多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）女性和高功能自闭症（ASC）女性--是具有内在兴趣的案例研究，并构成了对慢性病作为性别体验进行深入社会学分析的基础。PCOS和ASC的医学和文化表征的话语分析（在硕士论文中）支持妇女的经验，特别是诊断和耻辱的经验博士水平的探索。采用混合方法（定量调查和定性照片日记访谈）将能够选择多样化的样本，并将顾及预期的通信偏好的多样性。除了统计分析，定性数据分析的系谱方法将借鉴福柯和戈夫曼提供深入了解人际交流和机构权力如何塑造妇女的诊断和耻辱的经验。出资额：分析两个条件，可以被认为是违反规范的女性气质，这项研究将产生的知识，有助于长期的辩论医疗保健经验作为一种性别现象。它将扩展与PCOS和ASC女性之间可能的医疗不平等相关的社会学知识，并增加我们对性别，健康和身份之间交叉点的理解。
