The first was the Women and Health Conference (WAHC), co-organised by the Scottish Health Education Group (SHEG) and the World Health Organization (WHO) European Region. This conference was held in the town of Peebles, Scotland and hosted approximately 200 invited delegates, largely from Europe and North America. The second event, the Scottish Women's Health Fair (SWHF) was designed in direct response to the \"closed and elite\" WAHC and welcomed over 2,000 women from across Scotland to Edinburgh's city centre at the end of May. Using the archival materials from the SWHF and the WAHC and oral history interviews with SWHF organisers, this paper analyses the intersection and divergences between the grassroots approach of the SWHF and the national and global health agendas of the WAHC. I also explore the personal and collective ramifications of these fraught collaborations. While the SWHF ultimately remained \"associated\" and occurred alongside the conference, the organisers of the fair designed their event in opposition to the WAHC's top-down, medicalised, and universalised women's health agenda. In theory, these were two associated events and both had support from the SHEG. But in reality, the history of these two women's health events underscores deep professional and feminist divides about how to approach women's health issues and who was best positioned to effect change.","PeriodicalId":50403,"journal":{"name":"History of the Human Sciences","volume":" ","pages":"09526951261452839"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7619606/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149240295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Challenging this narrative is central to age studies and essential to critical gerontology. The medical humanities, by comparison, have not sufficiently engaged with ageing to date. Rapid demographic shifts across the 20th century, partly brought about by medico-technological progress, have led to a growing number of older people with multiple, chronic, and degenerative health conditions. This, I will argue, is where the medical humanities have a duty to intervene, because their purview and potential is different from that of age studies. The social practices to which illness gives rise are the central object of the medical humanities, and bio-psycho-social factors have had a place in this field since its inception. Embedded in a historical account of the relation of the medical humanities to ageing, and an account of the history of age studies, this article asserts that the medical humanities need to invest their discipline-crossing capacity and knowledge base in ageing. They need to integrate the biological reality of ageing into their descriptive practices and accept biomedicine as a constructive agent in their future work on ageing. This will enhance the field's enormous potential, at the level of policy and practice, to improve ageing for all.","PeriodicalId":50403,"journal":{"name":"History of the Human Sciences","volume":"39 3-4","pages":"157-180"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13472493/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148759629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This eventful first meeting in London was the start of a fascinating working friendship, albeit a somewhat uneven one. The two women share particular similarities across their careers, including their positions as women in their respective fields of psychology and anthropology, though Mead was notably more renowned. They also both had substantial and long-lasting relationships with other women. In this article, I draw primarily upon archival resources of interviews with both Mead and Rhoda Métraux conducted about Lowenfeld following her death. In doing so I argue how such material not only reveals the type of relationship between Lowenfeld and Mead, but also raises questions about how lesbian relationships are historically understood. In recognising the queer worlds of these women, it is possible to extend historical thinking about the lesbian relationships they had. Crucially, it also demonstrates what a lesbian feminist historical approach uniquely provides. In addition to this, by likewise recognising myself as a queer feminist, it is possible to reveal the reflexive and emotional queer kinship which extends between historian and subject.","PeriodicalId":50403,"journal":{"name":"History of the Human Sciences","volume":"38 3-4","pages":"239-259"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12416825/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145030764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Answering these hardships is a renewed optimism concerning the efficacy of controlled psychedelic therapy, a renaissance that has seen the resurgence of a familiar concept: intoxication as model psychosis. And yet, little has been made of where this peculiar idea originates. Why did we come to liken psychosis to intoxication, and why is this an idea we find so hard to shake? Questioning the conventional narrative that identifies the concept as emerging in the mid 19th century, this article seeks to uncover the conceptual foundations underlying what is now intended by 'model psychosis'. This investigation begins with an assessment of both Moreau de Tours's concept of hashish madness in 1845 and Emil Kraepelin's study of artificial insanity in the 1880s-90s. In seeking to contextualize these ideas, this article further considers the deeper historical association between intoxication and psychosis, instead proposing that intoxication represents an originary conception of madness. Bringing this examination into the 19th century, it becomes apparent that perceptions of intoxicants, and intoxication, were immanently participatory in the emerging understanding of psychosis. The contemporary understanding of model psychosis comes into focus when these elements coalesce with the advent of psychological modelling. Ultimately, the goal is not merely to understand how and why model psychosis became thinkable, but to examine how overlooked concepts have engendered new ways of being neuro-psychiatric subjects.","PeriodicalId":50403,"journal":{"name":"History of the Human Sciences","volume":"38 1","pages":"129-155"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11757027/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143048467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These representational tools frame perceptions of malignant disease, guide public health responses, and help determine which interventions are necessary. But what makes a cancer model a model? What authority do they have? What stories do they tell? And how do they shape our understanding of disease and bodies? To shed light on these questions, this article explores the long history of cancer modelling in sub-Saharan Africa: a place where malignant disease has often been imagined as different, and where experimentation and improvisation in cancer research and treatment has been rife. Drawing on archival and ethnographic sources, we examine modelling strategies that health professionals have used to generate information about cancer in Africa from the mid 20th century to the present day. Focusing on three different case studies - anatomical models of Burkitt's lymphoma patients, diagnostic models for Kaposi sarcoma, and statistical models of the African smoking and lung cancer epidemic - we meditate on the multiplicity of models and modelling by identifying the epistemic strands that hold these representations together, as well as what sets them apart. In addition to contributing to discussions of how cancer research has taken shape beyond the Anglo-American realm, our article helps expand and complicate our understandings of what a disease model is.","PeriodicalId":50403,"journal":{"name":"History of the Human Sciences","volume":" ","pages":"09526951241286733"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7617533/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143755887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this reason, and at the same time to avoid a reduction to biology as transported by terms such as kinship, ancestry, and descent, we introduce the expression diagrammatics of relatedness. We seek to understand the enormous influence that especially tree diagrams have had as a way to express and engage with human relatedness, but hold that this success can only be adequately understood by attending to what in fact are broader diagrammatic practices. These practices bring to light that diagrams of relatedness do not simply make visible natural connections, but create or deny relations in particular ways and for particular reasons. In this special section, contributors investigate diagrams of relatedness in genealogy, heredity, as well as biological and social anthropology. Conceiving of diagrams as techniques that transcend such binaries as ‘thought and action’ and ‘image and text’, we aim at an understanding of how they were constructed and how they functioned in particular epistemic, cultural, and political contexts.","PeriodicalId":50403,"journal":{"name":"History of the Human Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141739938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It describes the background and implementation of the first study in Sweden in 1967, and how the methodology of this study was adopted in Finland in 1971. Both of these studies were followed up in the 1990s with surveys that documented the changes in sexuality, 1992 in Finland and 1996 in Sweden. As the studies were labelled ‘Kinsey studies’ of their respective countries, the article examines the effect that the work of Alfred Kinsey's research group had on them. In particular, the article pays attention to the role of homosexuality in the studies and their reception, both in the mainstream media and in lesbian and gay organizations’ magazines. The article argues that, even though the studies recognized their position on the continuum of sex research stemming from Kinsey's work, they did not have a similar role in normalizing homosexuality. On the contrary, the studies showed diminishingly small numbers of homosexual respondents, even in the 1990s, when lesbian and gay rights were rapidly developing, and the studies were used to argue against equality and minority rights.","PeriodicalId":50403,"journal":{"name":"History of the Human Sciences","volume":"109 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140881510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
