MISFIRES’ conceptual development draws on and overflows into multiple streams of social science research. From STS, we draw on several traditions including engaged STS and market studies – a theorising on markets that was inspired by Actor-Network Theory. From philosophy, we are inspired by theories of justice and democracy. Organization studies and post-Marxist economics gives us valuable guidance around social movements and alternative economies, respectively. Finally, we stand on a long tradition of research in the sociology of health and healthcare around patient movements and patient organisations
