Pursuing Public Health in The Preindustrial World, 1100-1800

该项目旨在恢复欧洲工业化起飞前世界三个地区的社区卫生做法。它通过研究欧洲、中东和印度的非城市社会如何调整他们的行为和环境来管理健康风险，通常依赖于体液（或盖伦）医学的原则，挑战了公共卫生史上常见的年表和地理。一个多学科团队将进行空间、材料、图片和基于文本的分析，这将共同从以欧洲为中心的现代化叙事中解脱公共卫生，并阐明经常被忽视或孤立研究的预防医学文化。

This project aims to recover community-health practices in three world regions before the takeoff of European industrialization. It challenges a common chronology and geography in public health history by examining how especially non-urban societies in Europe, the Middle East and India adjusted their behaviors and environments to manage health risks, often relying on the principles of humoral (or Galenic) medicine. A multidisciplinary team will conduct spatial, material, pictorial and text-based analyses, which will collectively extricate public health from Eurocentric narratives of modernization and illuminate preventative-medical cultures often ignored or studied in isolation.
