Yet another nice review of our book!

A nice review (after a grumpy start) by Randall Packard of Medicine on a Larger Scale in Social Hist of Medicine. Edited by @ahlie.bsky.social, Jeremy Greene, & me, the book is available open access @universitypress.cambridge.org #histmed #histstm @sshmedicine.bsky.social @aahmhistmed.bsky.social

Another nice review of Spectacles of Waste, this time in Isis, up front. 'Pungent, playful, and consistently thought-provoking.' Thanks Paul Kreitman! @isisjournal.bsky.social #histsci #histmed #histstm #STS

Also in Isis, link provided above @historyscience.bsky.social @aahmhistmed.bsky.social 'learning about social medicine will give your students a robust lens through which to relate to the world today'

Also, a good review of Medicine on a Larger Scale, ed @ahlie.bsky.social Jeremy Greene and me, available open access @universitypress.cambridge.org A collection on the global history of social medicine (which can still be taught outside the US) www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/... #histstm

We wanted to make diverse radical versions of social medicine from the global south available to health workers, including those in the US - just as partisan politics is suppressing even conventional social medicine! Bad timing - but that may change...
