We formulated and designed this ambitious project of Indo-French cooperation in social sciences between the French Institute of Pondicherry (IFP) and Pondicherry University, with a view towards developing a multi-year programme of intensive and multidisciplinary training workshops addressing theoretical and methodological issues in social science research. This practical setup provides each and everyone with the opportunity of sharing experiences and research ideas. MAIN OBJECTIVES This training workshop has four main objectives: To create a highly efficient tool in research capacity-building; To strengthen the Indo-French cooperation in India; To consolidate a community of young scholars, senior scientists and experts.

More tangible results and outcomes are expected: Development of a website in English (with digital resources); Validation through delivery of certificates upon completion of the training; Writing of a scientific, pedagogical and technical report; Publication of proceedings in paper (IFP Publications) and digital (Website) formats.

CONSORTIUM AND CO-FINANCING Institutional partnership is based primarily on a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in 2011 (5 years renewable) between the French Institute of Pondicherry (IFP, MAE-CNRS) and the University of Pondicherry, and validated by the University Grant Commission (UGC) in New Delhi. As an autonomous institution and research center affiliated to Pondicherry University, the IFP can develop educational and research activities through direct partnerships with Indian universities, and to award diplomas recognized in India. For the forthcoming session in 2014, we plan to expand the bilateral academic cooperation between France and India through the signature of new MoU between Pondicherry University and IFP, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), Centre d'Études de l'Inde et de l'Asie du Sud (CEIAS, Paris) and Institute of Research for Development (IRD). These French research centers and institutes are the main funders of this event. ORGANIZATION Preparation and monitoring of the event is handled by the steering committee composed of three experienced researchers in social sciences research and training: Thanuja Mummidi, Centre for Study of Social Exclusion and Inclusive Policy, Pondicherry

University; Rémy Delage, CNRS-CEIAS, Paris, associated with the IFP; Christophe Jalil Nordman, IRD, DIAL, Paris.

TRAINING PROGRAMME 2014 The training runs through five consecutive days and is articulated around two poles: the plenary sessions and the methodological-disciplinary workshops, as detailed below:

• The plenary sessions: for one day (8th December 2014) there will be five oral presentations, presented by experienced, French, European and Indian researchers. The aim is to present the


6

state-of-the-art, overview of the theoretical and methodological issues on a particular research topic.

• The methodological and multidisciplinary workshops: for the following three full days (9-11 December 2014), four workshops à la carte for small groups are devoted to tutorials. It will discuss theoretical models, text analysis, survey methods and data collection, data analysis, etc.

• Knowledge restitution: The training ends (12 December 2014) with a half-day of knowledge restitution and delivery of certificates to participants.

ONE THEME, FOUR METHODOLOGICAL WORKSHOPS Social sciences research conducted on the topic of health aims to analyze the transformation of societies and of their environment, while examining the vulnerabilities and inequities these transformations may produce on the health and care of populations. These changes can be understood through the prism of family, of gender, of migration, and of the social environment. All these entries enable researchers to study population health and care given to individuals. Weakened by the economic crisis and the austerity plans in both developed and developing countries, and constrained by a growing social demand, developing countries find it more and more difficult to ensure their sovereign functions, such as the financing of quality health services. In addition, although they are supported by international bodies, new ways of funding health schemes, such as the universal health care and payments based on performance, often remain at the level of political discourse and/or remains poorly evaluated. Now, with a growing pressure on them, the poorest households have yet to fulfil their duty of mutual aid and support for sick people. Therefore, not only social inequalities in the field of health become a central focus of many research projects in social science research, but health and its societal challenges become also a transversal and multidisciplinary research object. This particular theme of health has then stimulated in the recent past the development of particularly fruitful research methods in social sciences. Access to these methods for young scholars is the purpose of the first edition of the Social Science Winter School in Pondicherry. Four international and multidisciplinary teams of experts have been constituted so as to propose to the public of students four sub-themes, with a focus on disciplinary and specific methodological aspects of research:

• Workshop 1: Universalisation of health care: questions, methods and assessments

• Workshop 2: Impact evaluation of public health policies and development programmes

• Workshop 3: Analysis of health controversies in a global context

• Workshop 4: Transformations in health and medicine. Conceptualisation and assessment in the social sciences

3.1 Health and medicine in the 21st Century. New challenges for social science.

By V. Sujatha, Professor, Centre for the Study of Social Systems, JNU, New Delhi Health is a topic of immense importance both to public institutions and to individuals and the social sciences have strived to conceptualise this dual aspect of health in multiple ways. The increasing role of the state in delivering health care services and the consequent bureaucratization of health care delivery has created a divergence between governmental goals and targets for collective health status and the individual’s efforts to maintain health and wellbeing. While the lack of governmental health care is found to adversely affect the health status of a population, greater interference of medical services through the government bureaucracy and the rapid diffusion of privatised medical care leads to what is known as ‘medicalisation’ of society. Medicalisation bestows enormous powers on capital and technology intensive interventions as the only arbiter of the health of the people, leaving little for the understanding and evaluation of the non-experts and the individual. This is also evident in the global north where the proliferation of psychotropic drugs has led to a medicalisation of socio-psychological problems. Different disciplines involved in health studies, namely, public health and social medicine, economics, demography, sociology and anthropology, are trying to grapple with some of the issues raised above at various levels of specificity and degrees of proximity to governmental policy and initiatives. To this we may add the concerns raised by the visible entry of medical systems like homeopathy, ayurveda and Chinese medicine that were hitherto kept out of public institutions of health care. But the compartmentalization of disciplines, such as that between sociology and anthropology, that produces dichotomies of the knowledge and experience of the richer countries and from that of the poorer ones, inhibits an appraisal of what systems of medicine could do or not do with regard to tackling health problems. The question as to whether the focus at the level of the population and at the level of the individual follows a similar logic and whether medical systems are capable of addressing both, requires among other things, an analysis of medical pluralism which has been somewhat muted in mainstream social science. This presentation does not answer all the questions, but will try to place them in perspective, so that young researchers are exposed to generic concerns in health studies. This presentation will serve as a general introduction in the methodologies and themes covered by the Workshop 4.

3.2 Universalisation of health care in India: questions, methods and assessments.

By Bertrand Lefebvre, University of Rouen, Faculty of Tropical Medicine of Bangkok Universalisation of health care is at the heart of health policy in India since Independence in 1947. Since then, the country has experienced different models to improve access to health services and ensure universal care to entire population. Despite the proliferation of governmental and private initiatives, the majority of the Indian population still has great difficulty in obtaining appropriate health care services. Along problems of spatial distribution of health services, other barriers stand between patients and health care services.


18

Availability of services, financial, organizational, social and cultural barriers as well as health needs are all components of access to health, and whose evaluation requires a multidisciplinary approach. In this presentation, we will review several methodologies that have been used to assess and analyse the universalisation of healthcare. From PPP in hospital services, gender inequalities in medical expenditures, to health insurance programmes, we will see how different methodologies can be applied for a deeper understanding of the failure and success of universalisation policies and programmes. This presentation will serve as a general introduction in the methodologies and themes covered by the Workshop 1.

3.3 Regulations Governing Private Healthcare in India.

By Narayanan Lalitha, Professor, Gujarat Institute of Development Research, Ahmedabad Private healthcare1 has grown in an exponential phase in the recent decades. There are regulations governing practically every sphere of this sector, as this is a sector, where the products are consumed by the consumers based on the recommendation of a skilled person (healthcare provider), than based on the market survey and considering alternatives available. Unlike the developed countries, regulations governing the healthcare sector in India, which caters to the majority of the population, are not adequately defined and ineffectively enforced leading to high cost for questionable quality of care. This paper focuses on issues relating to regulations governing (a) health education, (b) retail drug distribution, (c) production of drugs and medical devices and implication of the clinical establishment Act, 2010 of India. This presentation will serve as a general introduction in the methodologies and themes covered by the Workshop 3.

3.4 Impact Evaluation of Health Programmes: Insights from a Conditional Cash Transfer Programme on Maternity Benefits in India.

By Sumit Mazumdar, Fellow, Program coordinator, Institute for Human Development, Delhi We will introduce the theme of using scientific impact evaluation techniques and methods as a key toolkit for researchers – and policy-makers – to understand the impacts of development programmes, and concentrate on those associated with public health outcomes. We will discuss how the evaluation approaches have evolved over recent years in their empirical adaptations, particularly to the context of low and middle-income countries such as India. As an illustration, we provide a synoptic review of different statistical approaches used to evaluate Janani Suraksha Yojana (Safe Motherhood Scheme) – a conditional cash transfer (CCT) maternity benefit scheme in India, providing cash payments to pregnant women to undergo childbirths in government health facilities instead of delivering their babies at home – aimed to reduce maternal and early childhood mortality. Two papers are discussed, and the results compared, involving some of the most common and essential approaches used for evaluating programme impacts from non-experimental data. We conclude by outlining the positive development of

1 Includes, healthcare providers, health care institutions and health product producers and in this paper, the scope is restricted around providers, institutions and producers of modern healthcare products only.


19

greater acceptability of impact evaluation among development practitioners and decision-makers in India, underlining the importance of building required methodological as well as applied research capacities. This presentation will serve as a general introduction in the methodologies and themes covered by the Workshop 2.

3.5 Thinking through the road: fracture therapeutics and the traffic of bodies, technologies, passion

Guy Attewell, Associated Researcher, French Institute of Pondicherry, Pondicherry This paper frames an economy of injuries and orthopaedic practices in which value, fame and notoriety have been created and articulated through ‘traffic’ – of bodies, materials, knowledge, skills, passions, rupees. It focuses specifically on one clinic within this wider economy where muskulo-skeletal trauma, injury and pain are managed, at the margins of mainstream of orthopaedic surgical practice. It is interested in the implications of the transition from ‘local’ village practice to its current location on an arterial and yet also liminal highway (NH 202): how this move has enabled circuits that connect sufferers, their escorts, orthopaedic surgeons and other ‘traditional orthopaedic practitioners’ (‘bonesetters’); the affordances (positive as well as negative for the clinic in question) of the road for particular kinds of mobility at local, regional and intercity levels; the socially transgressive potential of a widely-resorted to ‘open’ roadside clinic in which touch, displaced clothing, bodily contact and expressions of acute pain within this particular public arena are the norm. This paper proposes to view the making/unmaking of credibility as material-social processes in which the road, widely viewed as an icon of India’s modernity, enables reconfigurations and growth of non-establishment therapeutic practices and reputations. Through this case study, the paper reflects on theoretical trends in science and technology studies (STS), and their juncture with anthropology and postcolonial studies. It argues that the road is good to think with to in order to understand the constrained and enabled enmeshments of lives and things.

4.1 Universalisation of health care in India: questions, methods and assessments

(Workshop 1) Coordinator:

• Bertrand Lefebvre (Geographer, University of Rouen, Visiting researcher at the school of Tropical Medicine of Bangkok, Mahidol University)

Invited Tutors: • Abhiroop Mukhopadhyay

(Economist, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata) • Audrey Bochaton

(Geographer, University Paris Ouest Nanterre, Paris) • Venkat Raman

(Management studies, University of Delhi) • Olivier Telle

(Geographer, Institut Pasteur, CSH, Delhi) Argument-Purpose: Universalisation of health care is at the heart of health policy in India since Independence in 1947. Since then, the country has experienced different models to improve access to health services and ensure universal care to entire population. During the first decades after 1947, the government has planned and invested in the development of a national and integrated network of care facilities (primary, secondary and hospital). The private sector was later on supported through public-private partnership policies in order to develop and diversify the supply of care. Targeted programs have been implemented for some patients (tuberculosis, HIV / AIDS, mother and child). Programs for health insurance have been developed over the last decade to reduce financial barriers to care for the poor (RSBY, Aarogyasri Scheme). Despite the proliferation of governmental and private initiatives, the majority of the Indian population still has great difficulty in obtaining appropriate health care services. The lack of health centre near by is cited as the second reason for not using government health services after the low quality of care (NFHS-3). According to the same survey, a quarter of women placed remoteness of care services as the first barrier in access to care. Along these problems of spatial coverage, other barriers stand between patients and health care services. Health expenditures are for example the second cause of indebtedness of rural families. In 2004-05, 39 Million peoples lipped into poverty due to health spending (NSSO 2004-05). Availability of services, financial, organizational, social and cultural barriers as well as health needs are all components of access to health, and whose evaluation requires a multidisciplinary approach. This workshop will present various approaches and methodologies to assess programs and policies aimed at universal health care in India. From geomatics, mapping and statistical techniques to case-based approaches and health seeking behaviour surveys, the participants will be introduced to a wide array of

4.2 Impact evaluation of public health policies and development programmes

(Workshop 2) Coordinators:

• Sumit Mazumdar Demographer (Institute for Human Development, New Delhi)

• Christophe Jalil Nordman Economist (IRD, DIAL, France)

Invited Tutors: • Flore Gubert

Economist (IRD, DIAL and Paris School of Economics, France) • Camille Saint-Macary

Economist (IRD, DIAL, France) Argument-purpose: Health policy analysis in low and middle-income countries worldwide has increasingly veered towards evidence-based approaches. Assessment of the most optimal – effective, efficient, and affordable – policies and interventions in complex systems encountered across the developing world can be best undertaken with sound knowledge of scientific evaluation methods and techniques. The tradition and application of impact evaluation in health policy and programme analysis has received a big momentum in recent years with introduction of a number of new programmes and health sector reforms, on the one hand, and greater interest and application of these approaches by leading multilateral development partners such as the World Bank and the World Health Organization, on the other. In India, for e.g. new initiatives involving conditional cash-transfer programmes such as the Janani Suraksha Yojana (Motherhood Security/safe Motherhood Scheme), or cashless hospitalization-support based national insurance under the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (National Health Insurance Scheme), have led to better understanding and demand for rigorous impact evaluations in order to quantitatively assess benefits accruing to the programme, or, in an alternate way, shortfalls from the expected results. In this proposed workshop of the ‘Social Sciences Winter School in Pondicherry’, trainees will be introduced to the state-of-the-art on main approaches to evaluation in practice. The main objective of the workshop is to review quantitative methods and models of impact evaluation that are aimed at estimating the causal and potentially heterogeneous effects of policies or programs. It will discuss both experimental (or randomized) setups and non-experimental methods using health policies or programs as case studies. The course, spread over 4 days will combine interactive lecture sessions on the theoretical foundation and the empirical approaches for different evaluation methods, with statistical illustrations of the methodologies. Through a mix of readings of papers, case studies, and tutorials, the trainees will be exposed to some of the major evaluation techniques, using the Indian household survey data such as


28

the NFHS (Rounds II and III, DLHS-RCH (Round III, 2007-08)). The days will be split between morning lectures and afternoon sessions devoted to hands-on training using the statistical software STATA. Workshop Schedule:

4.3 The analysis of health controversies in a global context


• Mathieu Quet (Communication Sciences, IRD, Paris)

• Vincent Duclos-Belanger (Anthropologist, University of Montreal, Visiting Fellow at College d’Etudes Mondiales, Paris)

Invited Tutors: • Lalitha Narayanan

(Gujerat Institute of Development Research, Ahmedabad) • Marine AL Dahdah

(Sociologist/Information technologies, IRD-CEPED, Paris) • Madhulika Banerjee

(Political Sciences, University of Delhi) Argument-Purpose: The analysis of sociotechnical and health controversies emerged during the 1970s and 1980sas a dynamic subfield of the new sociology of science. It was promoted in France through the works of the Actor Network Theory (Latour 1987), in England through the Social Studies of Knowledge (Shapin, Schaffer 1985) and in the USA by researchers of Science and Technology Studies (STS) (Nelkin, Pollak 1981). The central focus of such analysis is on debates and conflicts raised by scientific and medical issues. Since the 1980s, works such as those of the Centre for Sociology of Innovation à the École de Mines or those of the Group of Political and Moral Sociology (GSPM) (Boltanski, Thévenot 2006) reinforced the methodological bases and broadened the theoretical scope of this approach. Multiple researches have thus been developed to study health controversies, whether they be related to HIV/AIDS (Epstein1996;Fassin2007;Biehl2009; Nguyen 2010), to clinical trials (Petryna2009), to the influence of globalpharma in shaping psychiatric knowledge (Lakoff 2006), to the sanitary issues related to genetically modified organisms (Jasanoff 2005), to nuclear energy or nanotechnologies (Chateauraynaud 2011) and so forth. The analysis of scientific and health-related controversies occupies a strategic position within the social sciences, as it studies crucial contemporary issues while using innovative methodological approaches. These include discourse and media analysis, networks analysis, the sociology of social movements, the anthropology of laboratory life and public health studies. Such analysis encourages multi-sited approaches to a broad range of field sites among which scientific labs, transnational social movements, regulatory authorities, and public policy administrations occupy a prominent position. In other words, the analysis of health-related controversies fosters a multidisciplinary approach, involving various academic disciplines (sociology, anthropology, political sciences, law studies, and communication sciences), complex objects of study and ground-breaking methodologies and theoretical work.


32

This workshop will provide an introduction to the main theories and issues associated with the analysis of controversies and with the broader field of science and technology studies. It will provide conceptual and methodological tools for the conception of appropriate research objects and fieldwork. Special attention will be given to global health issues. Workshop Schedule:

4.4 Transformations in health and medicine. Conceptualisation and assessment in the social sciences


• Prof. V. Sujatha (Centre for the Study of Social Systems, JNU, New Delhi)

• Prof. Madhu Nagla (Department of Sociology, Maharishi Dayanand University, Rohtak, Haryana)

Invited Tutors: • Prof. Ritu Priya

(Centre for Community Health and Social Medicine, JNU, New Delhi) • Prof. Leena Abraham

(Centre for Studies in Education, TISS, Mumbai) • Prof. V.R. Muraleedharan

(Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, IIT, Chennai) Argument-purpose ‘Health is perhaps the most crucial aspect of human well-being,’ said Amartya Sen. The health of the population is a critical measure of a nation’s performance, because the health status of a nation tells us a lot about how its political, economic and social institutions are doing and is hence an inevitable part of public policy and economic analysis of any nation. While measuring health status through standard indicators across geographical, cultural and economic boundaries is one issue, treating women’s health status as an indicator of the general health status of a population is another. Besides, the fact that the parameters of health are at times found to be at odds with the indicators of social equality and freedom highlights the need for contextualization of statistical measures. For instance, studies in gender and health often point to the fact that increased income and labour force participation of women in wage labour and blue collar occupations does not necessarily produce better health for them; in fact may lead to adverse health outcomes for some as in the case of migrant women. Thus statistical parameters of various phenomena under study may present divergent picture as the existential situation on the ground is more complicated than any one measure can assess. Hence we need approaches that are sensitive to historical and social context in order to grasp the multiple dimensions of human health and wellbeing. Also at stake here is the question of how to conceptualise both, health and well being (the objective and subjective aspects) at the same time and how to assess the relevance of divergent factors associated with them, especially in a societies that are undergoing rapid change. Health is connected to medicine as a profession and the social role and authority of the medical profession could be discerned among other things, from their ability to influence popular conceptions and practices of health. What happens when there is more than one system of medicine in the public arena? How do we assess effectiveness when state sponsored systems of medicine like biomedicine coexist with systems of medicine like homeopathy, unani, siddha and ayurveda and other local health traditions outside state services but with popular support? Is efficacy a purely clinical phenomenon? These are questions not only of conceptualizing medical care, but also of assessing the efficacy of medicine in a situation of medical pluralism. Drawing upon historical, anthropological research, these


36

questions broaden our understanding of public health policy and take us into the latest and emerging social approaches in the study of medical pluralism. The aims of Workshop 4 on ‘Transformations in health and medicine: Conceptualisation and assessment in the social sciences’ are: To expose participants to the new social approaches in the social studies of health and medicine, going beyond official data and conventional policy analysis; secondly, to engage critically with methodologies in the assessment of health transitions and in the study of the efficacy of medicine. Thirdly, the workshop would suggest guidelines for the use of mixed methodologies in the study of health and medicine. Workshop Schedule: DAY 1 – TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9 Conceptualisation of health

stay at Institut Pasteur (3 years, 2001-2014). He has been working on the diffusion of dengue in Delhi since 2007.
