Dr Jamie Lewis
BSc (Hons), MSc, PhD
Reader
- Available for postgraduate supervision
Overview
I am a Reader in Sociology in the School of Social Sciences. My research is mainly situated in the Sociology of Science and Technology Studies (STS), but also extends to the public understanding of science (PUS) and medical sociology. With Professor Robert Evans and Dr Nick Hacking, I am presently conducting work on a Expert Citizen Science project as part of the ESRC WISERD centre grant. I am also working with Dr Andrew Bartlett (University of York) on a book examining the development and stabilisation of Bigfoot research. My area of interests include:
- developments in qualitative research;
- the boundaries between science, pseudo-science and non-science
- the sociology of biomedical knowledge with particular emphasis on the social implications of new genetic and stem cell technologies;
- issues of culture, interdisciplinarity and collaboration in big science;
- public engagement and public understanding of risk;
- aspects of practical accomplishment and modelling in the laboratory;
- science, activism and civic repair.
I am an editor of the journal Qualitative Research.
I am the director of our postgraduate taught (PGT) programme. I also co-convene the 3rd year Dissertation module and teach on various modules including the Sociology of Disasters.

Research
Qualitative Research Methods, Sociology of Science and Technology Studies, Sociology of Health and Illness, Public Understanding of Science and Impact.
My research straddles the sociology of Science and Technology Studies, the Sociology of Health and Illness and the Public Understanding of Science. This has included writing about practical accomplishment in the laboratory and animal house, the public understanding and engagement of psychiatric genetics, interdisciplinarity and collaboration in big science especially bioinformatics, translational research and standardisation, and collective effervescence and biosociality. My work is mostly ethnographic or interview based.
Teaching
I teach on both undergraduate and post graduate programmes in the School of Social Sciences. More specifically, I teach a set of lectures on Brains and Bodies on the Sociology, Society and Social Change module, lectures on ethnography, interviews, images and document on the Introduction to Social Science Research module, a module on Public Engagement with Science and Technology on the Science Media and Communication MSc, a programme which I also convene, and lectures in Key Ideas. As well as this, I work with Gareth Thomas teaching sociology in the School of Medicine.
