Biosocial Birth Cohort Research. A cross-disciplinary network (360G-Wellcome-218187_Z_19_Z)
This project establishes the first cross-disciplinary international network of social scientists, geneticists and epidemiologists focused on longitudinal birth cohort studies in the Global North and South. Birth cohorts are increasingly recognised as important for understanding how biological, social, and environmental processes interact over time. This makes them central to an emerging terrain of what has been described as ‘biosocial’ research. Despite this, however, relatively few social scientists have engaged with or investigated longitudinal birth cohorts. There is an urgent need to co-ordinate and consolidate emerging efforts in this area to ensure that biological and social science research benefits from productive cross-disciplinary engagement. The proposed network ‘Biosocial Birth Cohort Research’ (BBCR) will enable a community of international researchers to examine the social, ethical and methodological challenges and opportunities of developing innovative cross-disciplinary research with birth cohort studies. It will be the first network dedicated to critically examining and intervening on the co-production of birth cohorts and biosocial science.
