Personal profile
Short presentation
I am currently researching the interplay between health and privacy in the early modern period and the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Beyond medical discourse on privacy, I focus on how popular healing knowledge survived in the private sphere despite the efforts to suppress these practices, paying particular attention to the relationship between popular healing and “official” medical knowledge, witch trials, the legal framing of healing practices, and colonial encounters. I am particularly interested in how health is framed in trans-continental and trans-imperial contexts of healing knowledge transmission and the cross-connections between health, death, superstition, secrecy, and privacy.
