Sex and the Capital City: The Political Framing of Syphilis and Prostitution in Early Republican Ankara
In its initial years, the nascent Turkish republic established the Ministry of Health and Social Assistance in order to promote public health. Beyond simply facilitating its modernizing agenda for the emergent nation-state as it sought to define itself against an Ottoman past, this institution was also geared toward remedying a self-defined population crisis by prioritizing and confronting particular diseases and health conditions. One of the maladies of utmost concern was syphilis. Based upon an analysis of official primary sources, this article engages with how the developing republic distinguished and consequently polit...

A Radical Proposition: The Brief but Exceptional History of the Seattle School Clinic, 1914-21
This article examines the history of the Seattle school clinic (1914–21) and the efforts of public school administrators to institutionalize a full-service medical program for poor and working class children.

Transporting Lazarus: Physicians, the State, and the Creation of the Modern Paramedic and Ambulance, 1955-73
In 1966, morticians provided 50 percent of ambulance services in the United States; today advanced care by trained medical professionals en route to the hospital is considered a basic standard of care. The creation of emergency medical services (EMS) provides an important case study for how physicians acting as "experts" helped to shape the creation of federal policy in the post-World War II years. This paper challenges a narrative of the development of EMS that has emphasized technology, individual agency, and the role of fortuitous chance as the prime movers of EMS development. Instead it argues that a key factor in EMS ...
