Biography

Mia Harrison is a transdisciplinary researcher at the Centre for Social Research in Health (CSRH) at UNSW. Her work is characterized by critical creative qualitative approaches that address materiality, temporality, affects, embodied experiences, and knowledge-making practices. Mia's ongoing projects explore everyday practices of caring, food consumption, medicine usage, and experiences surrounding non-prescription illicit drugs within popular culture. She investigates the lived experiences of illness, disability, and poverty, focusing on the structural capacities and effects of care enacted by health and social systems. Her scholarly work is informed by science and technology studies (STS), critical medical humanities, and sociology of health and illness, with an emphasis on new materialism. Mia is actively engaged in STS scholarship, contributing to community-building efforts, such as being part of the organizing committee for the Australasian Science and Technology Studies Network (AusSTS) which convened its inaugural conference in Sydney in 2021. She serves as the Treasurer for the executive committee of this incorporated network and is a foundation member of the UNSW Science Society Research Group.
