Medical Matters in Post/colonial Situations/ Matérialités médicales en situations post/coloniales

The online workshop aims to open up different perspectives on colonial legacies in different institutions. We wish to encourage discussion between participants from different universities, by providing time for exchange in plenary sessions and in small groups. The digital format allows to gather a large number of participants, and to give room to different forms of international expertise, in particular from the African continent. The online workshop will be complemented by self-paced preparation of a background bibliography on the subject, compiled by the program convenors and shared with participants via an electronic platform. Explore the striking importance of colonial components to long-term histories of health and medicine, from the early modern period to modern times.
