Thematic Workshop ‘Differentials and transitions in historical health(care) since the 19th century: Mortality, Morbidity, and Medicine across the Atlantic’
June 8 @ 10:00 - 15:00
The historical roots of today’s health outcomes remain poorly understood, yet tracing them is essential to make sense of the world we inhabit. This workshop brings together scholars at the intersection of historical demography and the history of health to examine how mortality, morbidity, and medicine have evolved across Europe, Africa, and the Americas in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. By tracing these historical trajectories and differentials, the workshop aims to deepen our understanding of how the past continues to define health and healthcare in the present.
