Epidemics, biological invasions and planetary health: historical approaches

How can we connect the planetary crisis and health crises?

Research

Research project

This project builds a conversation between the history of medicine, environmental humanities and the biosciences. It approaches the joint histories of epidemics and biological invasions since the late 19th century, and imagines investigations following their traces in the landscapes of the Anthropocene. Combining social, biological and digital methods, the project aims to contribute to reflection and action in planetary health.

Project funding

 The project is funded by the Institut Universitaire de France.
