#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.

Finally out! The paper studies Yugoslav medical assistance to the FLN as stemming from the WW2 experience of the People‘s Liberation War, part of the forthcoming special issue edited by @doravargha.bsky.social, @alilacandonga.bsky.social and Luis Aue.

Research at @rutgershsl.bsky.social in Newark this week, working with papers of Henry H.
