Funded Activity Summary

Microbial Visions: French Colonial Biomedicine in Twentieth-Century New Caledonia. Using archival sources and analysis, this project will record the first comprehensive history of colonial biomedicine and public health in the French territory of New Caledonia. Microbial medicine was introduced into the colony in the early years of the twentieth century to combat devastating outbreaks of leprosy. Though leprosy has subsided, biomedicine stands at the centre of debates over decolonisation and independence. Can biomedical culture help forge a point of agreement between New Caledonia’s colonial past and its independent future?
