It explores the cultural, political, religious, demographic, and economic effects both government and private public-health practices have had on inequalities of race, class, and gender in an increasingly globalizing society, from the pre-Modern era to the present.<\/p>\n<p><em>Chronic Disparities\u00a0<\/em>examines events and processes including the emergence of public health and sanitation in Europe; the coercive globalization of systems of health; colonial medicine and the selective application of &#8220;Western&#8221; medical policy; eugenics; responses to substance abuse; the AIDS\/HIV pandemic; and many more. It includes a series introduction that explains this innovative approach to learning history and a conclusion that offers a model for applying the approach in seeking to understand other public health policies, events, and crises.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Sean Wempe, a 2015 alumnus of the History PhD program, has published his second book with Oxford University Press.
