Medicine, Race, and Slavery in the Transatlantic World, 1600–1850
As the title suggests, the provocation of this supplement is simple: that the histories of medicine, transatlantic slavery, and race cannot, and should not, be viewed separately.Between 1440 and 1888 more than twelve million African people were forcibly trafficked across the Atlantic Ocean, enslaved in plantations, cities, and homes across the Americas, the Caribbean, and Europe. 2 We are used to thinking about this as a 'triangle', in which the …
Medical Practitioners, The Archive, and the Making of Slavery in Early Modern Barbados
In seventeenth-century Barbados medical practitioners abounded, frequently operated as planters and merchants, and amassed sizeable estates. Their wills and property deeds attest to the efficacy of their professional ambitions and their important role in the formation of colonial Barbadian society. They also testify, unambiguously, to the frequency with which medical practitioners owned enslaved individuals, whose names were as prominent and more…
Political Science's Engagement With the Sustainability Challenge
The implications of sustainable development are far reaching, and yet many areas of academic scholarship were slow to deeply engage with it. This is a problem because, in practical terms, it can generate a false sense of calm, of business as usual, and a failure to rise to the integrative challenge of balancing the trade‐offs across sustainability's economic, social, and environmental dimensions. Conceptually it is also problematic as, properly u…

Millennial attitudes towards sharing mobile phone location data with health agencies
The use of mobile phone devices leaves digital traces which include personal data of the user’s location and can be used to produce aggregated and anonymised location data. There is widespread interest in utilising different types of mobile phone location data to optimise emergency health responses within a range of settings, however until now there has been no qualitative research exploring public opinions on sharing such data. A qualitative stu…
Re‐writing race in early modern European medicine
This short article explores the role of medical practitioners from across Europe in the practice of slavery and in the making of early modern race. Medical practitioners were present from the earliest moments of European encounters with African slavery. As the slave trade developed, their participation developed and became more formal. From their role on board ship, to their bureaucratic role in the process of inspecting enslaved peoples, to thei…
Skin and Disease in Early Modern Medicine
This article examines skin and disease in early modern medicine through the writings of the little-known Bohemian physician Jan Jessen (1566-1621). In 1601, Jessen published De cute, et cutaneis affectibus, a set of twenty-one theses dedicated to the question of whether skin disease existed. In considering Jessen and his relationship to a broader world of writing, this article makes three arguments. First, it suggests that, contrary to existing h…
Gesellschaft im Excess
Since 1973 and the publication of Natalie Zemon Davis’ ‘Rites of Violence’, historians of early modern Europe have been preoccupied in many different ways by the question of ‘excess’. Understood variously as symbolic, performative and ritualistic, excess is usually presented in a functional sense as fundamentally political, strategic and temporary. Summoned most perfectly in the controlled world of carnival, excess appears as the by-product of co…
Common Places and Private Spaces
Scouring the archives for information about Georg Palma, a sixteenth-century municipal physician in Nuremberg, yields the following results. Georg Palma was born in 1543, the eldest son of a physician of French origin, also named Georg Palma. 1 Palma the younger attended Nuremberg's famous grammar school, the Melanchthonschule. 2 He left, probably in 1558, to attend the University of Wittenberg, where he matriculated in 1559. 3 He went on to atte…
Emotion work and the management of stigma in female sex workers' long-term intimate relationships
Very little empirical work examines female sex workers' experiences in sociological detail, particularly within an Australian context. Drawing from a small-scale sample of female sex workers in South Australia, our findings suggest that sex workers' ongoing negotiations within private relationships represent 'emotion work', as described by Hochschild, which was understood as limiting the effect of stigma. Taking the lead from social scripts assoc…
The World Bank and core labour standards
Over the past decade, the World Bank has moved closer to accepting the International Labour Organization's (ILO's) core labour standards (CLS) and, in the process, sought to balance its promotion of labour market flexibility with a new focus on labour market regulation. The Bank's change of approach includes the 2009 decision to review and subsequently remove its labour market flexibility indicator (used to score the extent of labour market flexi…
Rethinking the roles of non-governmental organisations at the World Trade Organization
The role of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in global governance has attracted increasing attention over the past two decades. Yet the scholarly concern with the potential for NGOs to democratise international organisations has worked to neglect inquiry into the nature of their activities and the strategies that they deploy as policy-making participants in global governing arrangements. This article provides an account of the roles that NGO…
