In our very first episode, Luis Aue meets with Mary August Brazelton, Associate Professor in Global Studies of Science, Technology and Medicine at Cambridge University. They discuss her take on the end of China’s Zero Covid policy, the history of mass vaccination campaigns in China, and how her work challenges global-health common sense.

SocMed podcast episode 1: Mary Brazelton

Socialist Medicine pushes the boundaries of global health history by shifting the focus of research in terms of place, people and institutions to the socialist world: a constellation of Eastern European, Asian, Latin American and African countries connected through political ideology, expert networks, economic development and aid, and military interventions, in fluctuating intensity throughout the Cold War. The research project is based at Humboldt University in Berlin, and funded by an ERC Starting Grant. For more information, see https://socialistmedicine.com/ 

This podcast is part of a project that has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (Grant agreement No. 949639)
