Call for papers there are still a couple of slots available for the pannel
"Knowledge, power and health in South Asia: historical tensions and emerging issues": Social, anthropological and historical studies about health in South Asia developed into vast bodies of scholarship on imperial science, colonial knowledge, tropical medicine, dependency, development, inequities, systems of knowledge, hybridism and other innovative concepts, but much remains to be known about the actual local experience of large-scale interventions, whether under colonial or independent administrations. This panel will host papers that approach ethnographically, historically and politically the social actors, objects, facilities, rhetoric, representations and practices involved in the implementation of public health programs and clinical trials in South Asia. Pannel convenors: Cristiana Bastos (U Lisbon), Salla Sariola (U Durham), Sanjoy Bhattacharya (U York).
