Introduction
Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) is the first institution of its kind in the world.
As part of our recent 125th anniversary, we commissioned a colonial history research project in order to deliver a rigorous public record of our past, particularly focusing on our founding years and our associations with British imperialism. This is an important project to LSTM as part of its commitment to race equity and its journey to becoming an anti-racist organisation.
This research call invites applications from senior historians to lead our project, investigate our untapped archives and explore the dynamic of race, health and the history of tropical medicine.
Funding is available to support the time of a senior historian and the appointment of a researcher to undertake the work.
More information, including details on how to apply, can be found in the attached brochure. If you have any questions, please contact our history group history@lstmed.ac.uk or if you would like a conversation about the research, please message me sam.airey@lstmed.ac.uk
