BioHistory Group

The BioHistory Group studies the historicity of the body. How human bodies have changed in relation to health, stature, weight and other body features which have not been constant over space and time. We are particularly interested in how politics, perceptions, knowledge etc. have shaped bodies and bodily practices.
