Centre for History in Public Health and Medical Anthropology Seminar Series - Spring 2023

For the Spring term 2023, we are excited to launch a co-hosted series of seminars between The Centre for History in Public Health and the Medical Anthropology Seminar Series. This is an opportunity to hear world-leading invited speakers on topics including human genome editing, Hepatitis B vaccination, cancer geographies, paid home care, food and nutrition and the making of evidence. These topics will be approached from a primarily historical and/or medical anthropology perspective, enabling participants to encounter new ways of understanding these issues in public health around the globe. The seminars will be of broad interest to those working in public health, including those from humanities and social sciences backgrounds. Seminars will be delivered in person, with a zoom option, and we encourage you to come along and engage with the speakers and your colleagues at this exciting series of events.
