Question

Disease and health care is historically constituted; in other words, what is considered "disease" or what is given attention (research/funding/etc) changes over time. This is especially the case when we take gender into context. For example, there was a time when "female hysteria" Links to an external site. was an actual medical diagnosis. Yep. Do some research on the history of health, disease, and health care (including research methods) and "historicize" gendered health. For example, you may want to trace the history of women's exclusion from clinical medical research Links to an external site. and its implications on women's health. Another historical example of tracing how health needs to be considered in historical context could include the problematic history of transgender identity and health concerns and the DSM Links to an external site. A final good example would be to consider the history of forced sterilizations Links to an external site. in the US. That would lead to some very interesting (and disconcerting) intersectional historical research.
