Anne Kveim Lie i Dr. Jeremy Gree ne\n\nIn this talk\, we discuss the plural histories of social medicine as a site of practical engagement between social science\, clinical care\, a nd community health advocacy in the modern world. \; There is no singl e definition of social medicine\, a vital and pragmatic field that has bee n invented and re-invented in many different times and places. \; Inst ead\, we present its multiple origins and trajectories across very differe nt politics and economies of health as an opportunity to explore what advo cacy can mean in community health\, clinical practice\, and even the basic sciences of medical education. \;This talk draws on our recently rele ased book\, Medicine on a Larger Scale: Global Histories of Social Medicin e (Cambridge University Press\, 2025)\, \;co-edited with Warwick Ander son\, which weaves together a variety of intersecting narratives of social medicine and health advocacy in colonial and postcolonial contexts\, invo lving authors\, actors\, and analytics from around the world. \; Socia l medicine has often been marginalized in (and sometimes opposed to) biome dical systems\, but we argue that it must also be understood as a critique of medicine from within\, or as an embedded advocacy by those actors with in the medical profession who emphasize the ineradicable relevance of the social world in medical education\, research\, practice\, and policy.  \; In a world of widening global health inequalities and depleted public h ealth services\, we need a revived social medicine more than ever\; we off er a usable past for social medicine in order to imagine alternate futures from this alarming and oppressive moment.\n\nAnne Kveim Lie\, M.D.\, Ph.D \, \; \;is a Professor of Medical History at the University of Osl o'\;s Department of Community Medicine and Global Health\, specializing in the history of medicine with a focus on the Scandinavia welfare states .
