Something borrowed, something new:tracing non-biomedical pasts,presents, and futures in global health at the World Health Organization

Thu, 22 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Increasingly, biomedicine has become the hegemonic paradigm under which international institutions like the WHO approach global health problems. Technocratic frameworks position doctors and biomedical academics as “experts” whose knowledge constitutes the gold standard when designing interventions. Although biomedicine constitutes global health’s “present,” history shows that there have been (and continue to be) global traditions of healing where expert knowledge is rooted in different understandings of health and illness.

Lately, international institutions like the World Health Organization (WHO) have begun acknowledging these “alternative” frameworks, which they term “traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine (TCIM).” The WHO has integrated TCIM into its policy and practice by standardizing and benchmarking systems like Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine. However, this development is recent and there is little work documenting and analyzing the organization’s...

Global AIDS Posters and the Visual Language of Horror

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

“Global AIDS Posters and the Visual Language of Horror” is an examination of how the AIDS crisis was communicated through visual culture and how the imagery was often based on a rhetoric of horror. Global aids posters and the language used to describe the epidemic, though well-intended, worked together to shape a public perception that was harmful to the AIDS patient during this time of uncertainty.

In the case of the language used to describe the epidemic, the slide deck includes data showing that newspapers such as The New York Times and The Washington Post, often referred to as newspapers of record, repeatedly used terms such as “plague,” “silent killer,” and “scourge” at the height of the crisis. Over time, this rhetoric influenced and became part of a larger visual and cultural dialogue that determined how AIDS was depicted in posters around the world. As amply demonstrated in the slide deck, many of these posters used skeletal forms,...
