20 May 2024 | 15:30 | EGENIS seminar: "When Infant Mortality Was Born: Dutch Preventive Child Health Care without the State, 1890-1930", Martijn van der Meer & Noortje Jacobs (Erasmus MC)This talk investigates the emergence of Dutch preventive child health care in the first decades of the twentieth century. It shows that the rise of collective action on this terrain followed from the recognition of “infant mortality” as a public problem—a late nineteenth-century configuration that went hand in hand with the professionalization of paediatrics..

3 June 2024 | 15:30 | EGENIS seminar "What Makes an Experiment Beautiful?", Dr Milena Ivanova (University of Cambridge)Scientific products are often celebrated for their aesthetic dimension and compared to works of art. Scientists themselves, like artists, are praised for their creativity, originality and aesthetic sensibility.. Full details | Add event |
10 June 2024 | 15:30 | EGENIS seminar: "Rethinking Epidemic Narratives: Combining Historical and Ecological Methods in the Anthropocene", Dr Emily Webster (Durham University)From spillover diseases to re-emerging infections to rising rates of antimicrobial resistance, microbes have proliferated daily conversation in recent years. These serious and continuing threats to human and nonhuman health fly in the face of triumphalist narratives of epidemiological transition and global disease eradication (Bellamy Foster et al., 2021). The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the extent to which these human-microbial interactions are mediated by ecological change widely construed, from urban and rural land use change driven by global commerce patterns to shifts in internal microbial populations within bodies..
