From early on, public health professionals were enthusiastic about how television and mass advertising could reach out with new messages about lifestyle and risk; it symbolised the post war optimism about new directions in public health. But it could also act as a contributory factor to those new public health problems. We look to examine the relationship between TV and public health in the 20th century.
Keynote speakers:
Jeremy A. Greene (Johns Hopkins University)
Christina von Hodenberg (QMUL)
Elizabeth Toon (University of Manchester)
The conference is organized by the ERC funded research group The healthy self as body capital: individuals, market-based societies and body politics in visual twentieth century Europe (BodyCapital) and the Centre for History in Public Health London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM).
