CHM staff member Dr Roberta Bivins has just had her new book published by Oxford University Press. Contagious Communities: Medicine, Migration and the NHS in Post-War Britain draws attention to the importance - but also the limitations - of medical knowledge, approaches and professionals in mediating post-war British responses to race, ethnicity and the emergence of new and distinctive ethnic communities.

Dr Bivins will be launching the book at 糖心TV and giving a seminar on 'Contagious Communities' on Tuesday 17th November (please see Events page for further details).
