Funded Activity Summary
World Health: the intellectual history of a twentieth century idea. After SARS, bird flu, anthrax and smallpox scares, public health is now more global than ever. This project will offer fresh historical understandings of globalised public health and Australia's place in it. It will present new empirical information about, and interpretive models for the very ideas governing Australian public health: ?good health?, ?health promotion?, ?preventative healthcare?. It will map the history of national and international ambitions to link health with social and economic fabric. By understanding the biopolitical history of global public health, the social and political reach of current health policy will be more easily recognised.Funded Activity Details
