#ECAS2025, where @alilacandonga.bsky.social and I had wonderful two panels on medical socialist entanglements between Eastern Europe and Africa, including, among others, @severyandyakonov.bsky.social. Also heard some excellent talks on veterans, memory of anti-colonial wars and public health!

Thank you Prague and #ECAS2025 for the chance to share my work! It was especially entertaining to be hosted in the building where my research events happened in 1961. Look up for texts on Socialist Medical Entanglements in the decolonizing world in this OA special issue

Besides highlighting the similarities in military medicine, disability care, and veterans’ welfare, the paper illuminates the importance of care for the wounded and disabled, and symbolism of the wounded fighter as vital for Yugoslav medical assistance to Algeria‘s FLN.

Research at @rutgershsl.bsky.social in Newark this week, working with papers of Henry H. Kessler, a leading expert in rehabilitation who worked in postwar Yugoslavia and trained Yugoslav experts at his institute in New Jersey, who would later establish the field of veterans’ disability care at home
