Anne Kveim Lie i Dr. Jeremy Gr eene\n\nIn this talk\, we discuss the plural histories of social medicine as a site of practical engagement between social science\, clinical care\, and community health advocacy in the modern world. \; There is no sin gle definition of social medicine\, a vital and pragmatic field that has b een invented and re-invented in many different times and places. \; In stead\, we present its multiple origins and trajectories across very diffe rent politics and economies of health as an opportunity to explore what ad vocacy can mean in community health\, clinical practice\, and even the bas ic sciences of medical education. \;This talk draws on our recently re leased book\, Medicine on a Larger Scale: Global Histories of Social Medic ine (Cambridge University Press\, 2025)\, \;co-edited with Warwick And erson\, which weaves together a variety of intersecting narratives of soci al medicine and health advocacy in colonial and postcolonial contexts\, in volving authors\, actors\, and analytics from around the world. \; Soc ial medicine has often been marginalized in (and sometimes opposed to) bio medical systems\, but we argue that it must also be understood as a critiq ue of medicine from within\, or as an embedded advocacy by those actors wi thin the medical profession who emphasize the ineradicable relevance of th e social world in medical education\, research\, practice\, and policy.&nb sp\; In a world of widening global health inequalities and depleted public health services\, we need a revived social medicine more than ever\; we o ffer a usable past for social medicine in order to imagine alternate futur es from this alarming and oppressive moment.\n\nAnne Kveim Lie\, M.D.\, Ph .D\, \; \;is a Professor of Medical History at the University of O slo'\;s Department of Community Medicine and Global Health\, specializi ng in the history of medicine with a focus on the Scandinavia welfare stat es.
