Abstract

The scholars who use Social Science & Medicine in their research and teaching, who publish their work in it, participate in its peer review of manuscripts, and attend its conferences belong to various nationalities, disciplines, and cultural traditions. Our common enterprise originated in and depends upon liberal democratic social institutions, and assumes their values. With all our differences and disagreements, we are committed to scientific research in a common effort to improve human health and welfare. Our professional careers are a large part of our personal lives, so that our science, our lives, and our values are a single fabric. The present lecture is a meditation on this situation based upon my own heritage, personal experience, and career in anthropology, and on the recent publication in Social Science & Medicine of an essay that attributed the epidemiology of AIDS to racial variation.

摘要

那些在研究和教学中使用《社会科学与医学》、在该期刊上发表作品、参与其稿件同行评审并参加其会议的学者来自不同的国籍、学科和文化传统。我们的共同事业起源于自由民主的社会制度并依赖于这些制度，且秉持其价值观。尽管我们存在各种差异和分歧，但我们致力于科学研究，共同努力改善人类健康和福祉。我们的职业生涯在很大程度上构成了我们的个人生活，因此我们的科学、生活和价值观是一个整体。本次讲座是基于我自己的出身、个人经历以及在人类学领域的职业生涯，还有近期发表在《社会科学与医学》上一篇将艾滋病流行病学归因于种族差异的文章，对这种情况的一种思考。
