Health is complex. How are stories of health and care told, and what is at stake in their telling? Traversing fields of journalism, communication, urban planning, industry studies, and political economy, this interdisciplinary conversation discusses narratives of health and politics, and raises the need for new ones.
The discussion takes Smita Srinivas’s Market Menagerie: Health and Development in Late Industrial States—a far-reaching analysis of technological advance and market regulation of the biotech and pharmaceutical industries in countries such as India, Brazil, China, Nigeria, and South Africa—as a springboard into the difficult responsibilities of reporting across media and cultural divides.
Organized by the Technological Change Lab (TCLab)
