The analysis of unique individual-level data on diseases such as tuberculosis, measles, smallpox, and cholera will provide new knowledge on the causes of inequalities in health. It will enable the study of how and why health disparities emerged.

Extremely happy to receive a Veni-grant from the Dutch Research Council to work on inequality in health (185-1950) in the next years!

In short my project adopts an innovative comparative approach to the study of determinants of health inequalities in the port cities Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and Glasgow in the period 1850-1950.
