Collaboration is excellent & feminist praxis. Here's my latest co-authored article w/ @alexnmold fresh off the internet presses. 'Superman vs. Nick O’Teen: anti-smoking campaigns and children in 1980s Britain'.

This is such a great book, I have already been citing it in all the drafts, and it's helping me to think about who the assumed "public" is in health policy and how this construct is made, remade, and resisted under various government regimes #fan

Read a bit more about our recently published book, "Placing the Public in Public Health in Post-War Britain, 1948–2012", on our project blog.

Our @MillieQED was on @BBCPM this weekend, discussing questions about compulsory childhood vaccinations in historical perspective.

Listen again from 13:51, alongside his footnotes below.

[Gareth Millward @MillieQED]

Very thankful to BBC Radio 4's "PM" for the opportunity to put compulsory vaccination in historical perspective.

Link here to the show.

I thought I'd provide some "further reading" and give thanks to those whose work made mine possible.
