Cori Hayden

Director, Science, Technology and Society Center and CSTMS, UC Berkeley

Associate Professor: Medical Anthropology Advisor, Medical Anthropology, Sociocultural Anthropology

Special Interests: Anthropology of science, technology, and medicine; Latin America (particularly Mexico); post-colonial science studies; kinship, gender, and queer studies.

Research: My research focuses on the anthropology of the biochemical sciences, global pharmaceutical politics, and postcolonial engagements with intellectual property and the politics of innovation and appropriation.  These themes animated my 2003 book, When Nature Goes Public: The Making and Unmaking of Bioprospecting in Mexico, which examined the consequences of novel drug discovery partnerships linking global drug companies, Latin American research scientists, and indigenous communities.  A key theme emerging from that work was how new deployments of the idioms of intellectual property serve as engines of both privatization and ‘public-ization,’ or the reconfiguration of notions of the public, the commons, and the public domain. 

Subsequent projects have taken up this concern, in the context of the ethics of benefit-sharing in clinical trials (Taking as Giving), the ways that liberal concerns over piracy and improper copying continue to animate liberatory projects undertaken in the name of the public domain (The Proper Copy), and an investigation of how appeals to the ‘popular’ and populism may  disrupt liberal epistemologies organized around public and private.

My current research is an ethnographic investigation of the recent emergence of generic drugs in Mexico, and the complex relationships– simultaneously biochemical, commercial, and political – currently unfolding in their name.  Grounding my concern with a politics of access to medicines here is an interest in using the complex materialities of generic drugs to rethink the ‘substance’ of pharmaceutical politics and our analytics of value, sameness, and difference.

Evelyn Lincoln

Associate Professor, History of Art & Architecture and Italian Studies, Brown University

EVELYN LINCOLN, Ph.D., 1994, University of California, Berkeley
Associate Professor, History of Art & Architecture and Italian Studies; Director, Program in Renaissance and Early Modern Studies

Evelyn Lincoln earned a BA in Fine Arts and Literature from Antioch College in 1973, and went on to become a printmaker and museum curator in San Francisco, receiving a PhD in the History of Art from UC Berkeley in 1994, and joining the Department of the History of Art and Architecture at Brown University that year.

Her research in Art History looks at the practical and intellectual operations of communities of readers in the early modern period to locate networks of knowledge shared among those involved in the commerce and production of printing and printmaking in early modern Europe, with particular attention to how images were used to obtain, and display access to, knowledge, power, and patronage for readers with a common literacy in image and text. The currency of images as they interact with the read and spoken word has extended into research on early notions of intellectual property, and the visual representations of authorship, gender, and truth claims.  She is the author of The Invention of the Italian Renaissance Printmaker (Yale UP:  2000) and Pictures and Readers in Early Modern Rome (Yale UP, forthcoming, 2013), and articles on early modern notions of authorship and responsibility, among other things .

Celia Lury

Professor of Sociology, Goldsmiths University of London

Professor | BA PhD

For a long time I have had two main areas of research interest: sociology of culture and feminist theory. My contributions to a sociology of culture draw upon the findings of a series of funded empirical research projects, exploring contemporary developments in the culture industry with a special focus on visual culture, consumer culture (Consumer Culture, a second edition is in press) and intellectual property (Cultural Rights and Global Culture Industry). 

My contributions to feminist theory primarily concern the issue of identity (Prosthetic Culture, Feminism and Autobiography) and the changing significance of gender as a social and natural category(Global Nature, Global Culture).In the last few years I have begun to develop a research profileaddressing questions of matter, creativity and invention, and theinter-relationship between economy and society. This has beenfostered by my teaching at Goldsmiths and my participation in theCentre for the Study of Invention and Social Process. This involvedthe co-organisation of a conference, Virtuality, which led to thepublication of a Special Issue of Theory, Culture and Society(Inventive Life: Towards a New Vitalism), 2005, which has since beenpublished as a book by Sage. It was continued in my co-ordinationof the EU network on A Topological Approach to Cultural Dynamicswhich has contributed to an interest in methods, devices, maps andmodels and their role in the emergence of spaces of movement.

Kriss Ravetto-Biagioli

Associate Professor of Technocultural Studies, UC Davis

Kriss Ravetto-Biagioli is Associate Professor of Technocultural Studies.  She is a film and media scholar whose work focuses on the problem of representing and theorizing the violence produced by nation building, ethnocentrism, and sexism in a manner that does not play into a vicious cycle where moralism, media images, and language produce their own forms of violence. She is the author of The Unmaking of Fascist Aesthetics (University of Minnesota Press, 2001).  Her current book projects are “Mythopoetic Cinema on the Margins of Europe” and “The Digital Uncanny and Ghost Effects.” She has published articles on film, performance, installation art, and new media in Camera Obscura, Film Quarterly, Third Text, PAJ, Representations, Screen, and numerous collected volumes. Her interest in the “digital uncanny” and the culture of surveillance inspired “Recoded“—a large international conference on the politics and landscapes of new media—and “Figures of the Visceral.”

Haochen Sun 孫皓琛

Associate Professor of Law, University of Hong Kong

Haochen is currently an Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Hong Kong and Deputy Director of the Law and Technology Center at HKU. He is teaching at the University of California, Davis, School of Law as a Visiting Professor in the fall of 2012. 

Haochen teaches and writes in the areas of intellectual property and property. His scholarship draws on social, cultural, and political thought to explore the theoretical foundations of intellectual property and property law. His most recent research is concerned with intellectual property protection of luxury goods, the ideas of social responsibility and justice in intellectual property law, the reconceptualization of the nature of fair use in copyright law, and a new social-political theory of the public trust doctrine. During the past few years, Haochen worked on theoretical and policy studies of various intellectual property issues, such as copyright protection and digital technology, the three-step test used in international copyright treaties, and patent and public health.

Haochen has presented papers at numerous conferences. His recent work on intellectual property has been selected for presentation at the Fourth Harvard-Stanford International Junior Faculty Forum, the plenary session of the Eleventh Intellectual Property Scholars Conference, and the Fourth Junior Scholars in Intellectual Property Workshop at Michigan State University College of Law. Haochen has also given faculty workshops or guest talks at Cornell Law School, Duke Law School, University of Toronto Faculty of Law, UC Davis Law School, University of North Carolina Law School, and Vanderbilt Law School.

In June 2012, Haochen organized a two-day conference entitled “Charting the New Frontiers of Intellectual Property Protection of Luxury Goods.” The conference featured talks by leading intellectual property scholars and practitioners from the United States, Europe, and Hong Kong. Recently, Haochen won a research grant to study the role of intellectual property in promoting the luxury industry from the Hong Kong Research Grants Council.

Before joining the University of Hong Kong, Haochen worked as a research fellow at the Harvard Berkman Center for Internet & Society and the Max Planck Institute for Intellectual Property. He obtained an LL.B. from Zhejiang University, and LL.M. degrees from the National University of Singapore and Harvard Law School. He is currently completing his SJD dissertation. The dissertation seeks to put forward a new ethical theory of copyright law.

Drawing on a wide range of scientific, philosophical, and religious sources, he has contributed to the transformation of the history of ancient science and medicine, particularly of the Hellenistic period.
