School of Law, Politics and Sociology > Sociology Taking ‘nothing happened’ as a point of departure for analysis, this study contributes to a better understanding of the production and functioning of ignorance, especially for the studies concerning multilateral policymaking such as international law and political sociology. Along with presenting the disappearance of that agenda proposal, I also presentify, based on the decolonial-queer praxis, a critical reimagining of what if another knowledge were/is possible. interstate consensus, global definition, scientific evidence) is lacking, using this to justify the WHO’s inertia, which, however, has reinforced SGMs’ vulnerability across societies. In the current case, states have asserted something that is required/desired (e.g. In this respect, I employ ‘lack/lacking’ as an analytical concept in capturing the variable relationships between nothing (negative social phenomena) and ignorance (the limits of knowledge). This study identifies the complex power-knowledge nexus, particularly in a field in which legal, political and health discourses are competing for authority over policy legitimacy. Therefore, this study demonstrates that nothing is productive, lending itself to a rhetorical use of sovereignty in order to circumvent a global response to SGM health injustices. In Part II, drawing on and looking beyond the sociology of nothing and the sociology of ignorance, I propose normative and critical policy interventions into the discursive practices that have allowed such indecision and inaction to be justified. In Part I, I look at the discussions between states over health inequities experienced by sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) from 2013 to 2016, which resulted in permanently deleting the agenda proposal in question. In this context, the thesis contains two parts. As a functional international organisation, its policymaking is enacted through the interplay and negotiation of scientific knowledge, international legality, and state will. This work considers ‘nothing’ and its effect upon the reproduction of ignorance and epistemic exclusion, by interrogating a decision to ‘do nothing’ made by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

International inaction in the face of the health disparities of sexual and gender minorities.You can also choose to highlight only when you move your cursor/mouse.Change your highlight color and opacity.With Presentify you never have to keep moving your cursor to grab the attention of your audience. I wish to stress that in Greimas & Fontanille’s formulation it is not the passion that is presentified the passion is ‘convoked’ and then presentifies certain (tensive and figurative) indications, including expectations.Great for live presentations and during video calls when working remotely.
