Placing Care: Embodying Architecture in Hospital Clinics for Immigrant and Refugee Patients
This article is part of a hospital ethnography that investigates healthcare architecture as an aspect of an increasingly large, complex, and urgent global health issue: caring for refugees and other immigrants. It argues that hospitals are nodes in transnational social networks of immigrant and refugee patients that form assemblages of human and non‐human objects. These assemblages co‐produce place‐specific hospital care in different hospital spaces. Place‐specific tensions and power dynamics arise when refugees and immigrants come into contact with these biomedical spaces. The argument is developed by analysing waiting rooms and exam rooms in two outpatient clinics in one US hospital. The article draws its analysis from 9 months of fieldwork in 2012 that included following 69 adult immigrant and refugee patients and observing their encounters with interpreters and clinic staff. Its inclusion of a transnational dimension for understanding placespecific hospital care adds conceptual and empirical depth to the study of how place matters in 21st century hospitals.
