Many of us work on topics that involve thinking about activists as historical actors and we are also confronted with the issue of how to relate our work to the activists of today. These are themes which intersect with the work of many of us here in the Centre for the History of Medicine. The session will provide an opportunity for discussion of the challenges and opportunities involved in such work. It will be chaired by Andrew Burchell, and feature reflections from Dr Jennifer Crane (Oxford) and Beckie Rutherford (CHM, Warwick). Teams link.
