For my current postdoctoral projects at t he Institute of Geography at the University of Bern\, I am doing an instit utional ethnography on intersectionality in a Swiss acute hospital. In thi s presentation\, I think about the similarities and differences between th ese two\, at first sight very distinct ‘fields’.
