DESCRIPTION:\n	The ɬŔď·¬ Department of Family Medicine presents “Health Int
 erventions\, Gender\, At-Risk Bodies\, and the Danger of Rescue Missions' 
 by Geneviève Rail\, Ph.D. \n	\n	In this presentation\, Dr. Rail will flesh o
 ut some research results coming out of three CIHRfunded projects focusing 
 on girls (HPV vaccine discourses)\, young women (obesity discourses)\, and
  older women (breast and gynecological cancer care discourses). She will e
 xplore how participants in these studies are hailed by subject positions o
 ffered by various biomedical discourses that intersect with dominant disco
 urses of sex\, gender\, sexuality\, race\, and individual responsibility f
 or health. I discuss the ways in which such biomedical discourses discipli
 ne girls and women to believe they are “at-risk” and\, ultimately\, to tak
 e part in some public health or health care processes supposedly leading t
 o their “rescue\,” better health\, and full subjectivity. Using a poststru
 cturalist discourse analysis\, she investigates how participants appropria
 te and/or resist discourses\, at times alerting us to the dangers of ill-c
 onceived “rescue missions”. She will conclude on the importance of investi
 gating and re-thinking gendered health interventions via an intersectional
  approach that takes account of girls’ and women’s narratives.\n	\n	Genevièv
 e Rail received her Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champa
 ign. She has taught courses related to women’s bodies\, physical activity 
 and health at the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Health Sciences from 1
 991 to 2009. Since 2009\, she has been a Professor of Feminist Cultural St
 udies of Health at the Simone de Beauvoir Institute of Concordia Universit
 y. Author of over 100 articles or book chapters\, she has been a keynote s
 peaker in over 50 national or international conferences. In the last 20 ye
 ars\, she has received funding from SSHRC and CIHR for projects involving 
 women from varying sexuality\, race\, ethnicity\, ability\, and socioecono
 mic milieus. She is interested in the intersection of these women’s identi
 fications with the embodied experiences of health and illness.\n	\n	There is
