Rethinking Medico-Legal Borders: From international to internal histories

对冠状病毒的反应鲜明地揭示了体内运动及其调节的重要性。然而，学术界对医学-法律边境控制的关注几乎完全集中在国际流动上。这个项目通过研究过去和现在大流行时期对内部运动的监管来解决这一主要差距，重点是澳大利亚的鼠疫、流感、SARS和冠状病毒，并与香港进行比较。它将询问过去被隔离的船只和现在的冠状病毒中模糊的内部/国际边界。将法律和历史结合在一起，这个项目将澄清内部流动是如何受到法律限制的，而且最好是合法限制。

The response to coronavirus has starkly revealed the significance of internal movement and its regulation. Yet the focus of scholarship on medico-legal border control remains almost exclusively on international movement. This project addresses that major gap by researching the regulation of internal movement in past and present pandemic times, with a focus on plague, influenza, SARS and coronavirus in Australia, and in comparison with Hong Kong. It will interrogate the ambiguous internal/international borders of ships in quarantine in the past and in the coronavirus present. Bringing law and history together, this project will clarify how internal movement has been, and can best be, lawfully restricted.
