Online Early Career Workshop, June 14 – 17 2021

What was Epidemiology?

Download the Workshop Programme >>

This workshop’s overarching question is: What was Epidemiology? We will open a forum for creative explorations of a new historiography of epidemiology in the long twentieth century (1890 – 2010). Given our Covid present, the workshop’s question will prompt reflections on the value of this history within an ongoing pandemic.

With presentations from 27 early career researchers and panel discussions joined by Susanne Bauer (University of Oslo), Adia Benton (Northwestern University), Tamara Giles Vernick (Institut Pasteur), Christos Lynteris (St. Andrews University), Andrew J. Mendelsohn (Queen Marry University), Graham Mooney (Johns Hopkins University).
