Behind the Scenes – An Interdisciplinary Study of Convictions, Resistance and Hesitancy in a Contemporary Battle for Health” som ingår i helhetsprojektet “VaccAtt” (Research project in vaccine attitudes).
VaccAtt is an interdisciplinary research project about achieving greater insight into different understandings of health, in which the particular aim is to investigate opinions about vaccines and immunization practices and to explore the relationship between different attitudes and how they are related to people’s beliefs, convictions, and values. The starting point is that by focusing on values and questions that create a sense of meaning in people’s lives, we can better understand the intellectual and moral convictions that occur in this specific context. We will particularly from a theological, ethical, legal, gender- and psychological perspective, study issues which relates to claims of knowledge and truth, trust, self-determination and parental responsibility, power and identity construction.
