Please email if you’re interested in seeing raw data for any project.
I like how she did this as well since this line offers to share raw data with anyone who are interested, which is a good research technique because it ensures transparency and lets others verify the data. I wonder if releasing the raw data could raise problems or provide additional details not thought of in the initial research.
The book was reviewed in: Medical History, Medical Anthropology Quarterly the International Journal of African Historical Studies , the Journal of Modern African Studies, the Revue Politique Africaine, the Social History of Medicine, Isis, the African Studies Review and the Journal of Interdisciplinary History . It was written about in the Washington Post's blog, The Monkey Cage and here, discussed on the World Bank blog, Development Impact, by the CIHA blog and by the World Bank economist, David Evans. The University of Oregon's "Around the O" covered it here; an interview with Paul Peppis of the Oregon Humanities Center is here; an interview with Jo Weaver and Erik Peterson from the Speaking of Race podcast here. It was the subject of a podcast episode on Ufahamu Africa.
This part demonstrates the extent to which the book has been acknowledged and discussed. Numerous scholarly journals reviewed it, and it was even covered by podcasts and the Washington Post which is awesome. This implies that the book has had a significant influence on the general population as well as the academic community.
The Experiment Must Continue: Medical Research and Ethics in East Africa, 1940-2014 (Ohio University Press, 2015) tells the story of human experimentation and medical ethics in East Africa from 1940 to the present.
This book, which discusses the history of medical research in East Africa, sounds like it would be very relevant. It would be intriguing to learn about the evolution of medical research and whether any of the issues from the past continue to influence current research.
This line of inquiry has grown out of my advising of Honors College undergraduates writing their theses while volunteering with the local public health organization, HIV Alliance.
Students participating in practical public health work is wonderful. It provides them with an opportunity to learn while assisting with local issues. I'm interested in how the data from these kids might influence public health regulations.
The project draws on archival research at the Zanzibar National Archives and the WHO archives, ethnographic research in Zanzibar, and nearly 100 interviews conducted with Zanzibaris.
This combination of historical documents and interviews is excellent since it illustrates the history of anti-malarial efforts and the actual experiences of Zanzibari citizens. If the knowledge gained in Zanzibar can be used to other African countries where malaria is still an issue, that would be interesting.
