No Favour for Pioneers

Never Mind

Never Mind (Demo)

Women doctors, your empire needs you! By decree of Queen Victoria, we need you to join dozens of your graduate colleagues, both men as young as 15, and women, in supporting colonial rule in India. Things you could do in India, as based on the experiences of those who have already been:

 - Collect skulls for our phrenological/anatomical collections back home
- Help to found scientific racism 
- Develop networks to help build a medical school to rival Sophia Jex-Blake’s 
- Do whatever is required to settle the native population and sustain the empire, from learning the language to managing unrest during a pandemic. 

Some of you will die, some of you will lose your minds, but at least you are guaranteed a job, and the trip of a lifetime! 

Have a listen to the first episode of "No Favour for Pioneers", the podcast exploring the history of Edinburgh medicine, and what we can learn for tomorrow.
