This looks so great and so important. Can't wait to get a copy.
Will never forget that day. It's my birthday, and I spent the day from about 7 am until 9 pm helping coordinate the return of some 1,200 students abroad. (Was in our international dean's office at the time.)
Which do you disagree with--that it's good or that it's accessible? I haven't used it in class for a few years, but my undergrads have always been able to grasp it.
Also, you probably know about Somatosphere.net, but if not, it's a great medical anthropology blog site that has LOTS of accessible short reflections on this kind of thing.
Woot! Congrats!
I know you said not a journal article, but this one's a really good and straightforward read. Maybe it could work? Andrew Lakoff, "Two Regimes of Global Health."

The struggle is real

I think the plusses outweigh the minuses. We're not ready for another one yet--Henry's loss is still too acute--but soon.
Amazing. I’m 56, and some of my first tv memories are whale documentaries that talked about the need for conservation. Incredible to see this happen in a large swath of my lifetime.

That's so crazy it just might work
That had to be terrifying. Matt with absolutely no expression on his face, Joan unable to hide her skepticism. No thank you.
Oh sure! Who? You're welcome to DM if you don't want to say publicly.
30 for me since I started. I definitely still have some grudges. BUT, every time I see Jelani Cobb on the news, I'm like, I used to sit next to him in the computer lab on the 3rd floor of Van Dyck all the time. (No chance he remembers me I'm sure.) Such an incredible time to be there.
The only seminar I ever got to take with Bonnie was at Princeton when she was subbing for Laura Engelstein.
My questioners were Bonnie and John. John asked this crazy question about fertility rates in the nineteenth century--just next level social/demographic history. Definitely skipped that one. I only remember writing about Kate Lacey's book for one of the others.
Oh no! Sounds awful. Not sure how I beat out Tamara for Bonnie's office--I think we took them the same day if memory serves.
With Michael? It was so cool of him to allow the take-home essay instead of that awful, anxiety-ridden in-Bonnie's-office daylong experience.
Why not. Mine were in
1. Modern Europe (2 essays in 8 hours)
2. Global and Comparative History (monthlong lit review, became draft of a review article)

I'll take this in one more direction. How about when you're reading for a lit review and you come across something that's NOT relevant, but you mentally file it away, and then years later, it becomes the cornerstone of something else? A whole new project? gAI can't do this.
Well, in a world on fire, it's a small thing, but I just got a lovely note from an academic I've never met telling me that an article I published 20 years ago was a big influence on them. Such a nice gesture!
They're fun! I loved the Netflix show about them.
ah, got it!
I have a hard time getting behind them because of how awful Annemiek was to other people in her last season
