This week we will be reading:

David Arnold, 'Diabetes in the Tropics: Race, Place and Class in India, 1880-1965', Social History of Medicine Vol.22, (No.2, 2009?), pp.245-261.

– AVAILABLE ONLINE

AND

Andrew Cunningham, ‘Transforming plague: The Laboratory and the Identity of Infectious Disease’, in, Andrew Cunningham and Perry Williams, The Laboratory Revolution in Medicine, (Cambridge, 1992), pp.209-244. – COPIES IN ROOM 449 (IN ‘MA STUDENTS PIGEONHOLE)

With a particular focus on the relationship between ‘disease[s]’ and ‘identity[ies]’, although everyone should feel free to offer any other thoughts arising from the texts.

Look forward to seeing you there.
