Monkeypox
<p>As the pandemic continued to rage through 2022, the World Health Organization declared monkeypox to be a public health emergency of international concern. Moving beyond the book’s focus on 2020, the series concludes by hearing from <a href="https://arthistory.exeter.ac.uk/staff/florencio/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr João Florêncio</a>, <a href="https://history.exeter.ac.uk/staff/ldolezal/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Professor Luna Dolezal</a>, <a href="https://wcceh.org/meet-the-team/research-fellows/fred-cooper/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr Fred Cooper</a> and <a href="https://wcceh.org/meet-the-team/research-fellows/arthur-rose/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr Arthur Rose</a> on the challenges that monkeypox, COVID-19 and, before it, AIDS-HIV pose to habits of intimacy, sexuality and togetherness. What happens ‘after’ the pandemic, we conclude, is not just a matter for dealing with the ‘next’ outbreak, but the legacies of epidemics that have gone before.</p><p>To read more about João Florêcio’s work on AIDS and homophobia see his article in The Conversation; <a href="https://theconversation.com/aids-homophobic-and-moralistic-images-of-1980s-still-haunt-our-view-of-hiv-that-must-change-106580" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AIDS: homophobic and moralistic images of 1980s still haunt our view of HIV – that must change</a>. Benjamin Weil’s article <a href="https://thebaffler.com/latest/poxed-and-abandoned-weil" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Poxed and Abandoned</a> further discusses how these echoes have framed the global response to monkeypox. These themes are also elaborated in the BMJ opinion piece <a href="https://www.bmj.com/content/378/bmj.o2134" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Blame and shame are harming our response to monkeypox</a>. </p><p>Thank you to Alice Waterson.

From Moonshots to Shame-Sensitive Public Health
<p>When Boris Johnson announced the government’s plan to deliver 10 million tests a day - Operation Moonshot - on the 9th of September 2020, he claimed it was to return life to normal. But it was also clearly an effort at saving face and reputation management.</p><p>In this episode, we hear from <a href="https://wcceh.org/meet-the-team/research-fellows/arthur-rose/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr Arthur Rose</a> and <a href="https://history.exeter.ac.uk/staff/ldolezal/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Professor Luna Dolezal</a> on the problems of using expansive rhetoric to deflect reputation damage. As an alternative to these and the other shame-intensive practices of the series, the team proposes a Shame-Sensitive Public Health that might address the more corrosive effects of shame in the pandemic.</p><p>To read more about Operation Moonshot and the UK government’s efforts to save face during 2020 see the chapter <a href="https://www.bloomsburycollections.com/book/covid-19-and-shame-political-emotions-and-public-health-in-the-uk/ch6-operation-moonshot-notes-on-saving-face" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Operation Moonshot: Notes on Saving Face</a> by Fred Cooper, Luna Dolezal and Arthur Rose in Covid-19 and Shame: Political Emotions and Public Health in the UK.

The Racism Pandemic
<p>From public eruptions of anti-Asian violence to emerging data on the respective mortality rates of white and ethnic minority healthcare workers, it became rapidly clear that the pandemic landed in ways that followed well-worn lines of racism in the UK.</p><p>In this episode, we hear from <a href="https://www.lse.ac.uk/africa/people/Researchers/Nikita" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr Nikita Simpson</a> on the phenomenon of the ‘Leicester Lepers’, in which racialised communities were subject to increased stigma over their supposed inability to follow public health advice. <a href="https://wcceh.org/meet-the-team/research-fellows/fred-cooper/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr Fred Cooper</a> explores how complex systems of structural racism and shame and individual experiences of public shaming intersected, and how shame was heightened by a political refusal to directly address questions of racism and race.</p><p>To further understand how shame, stigma and racism intersected during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic, see the chapter <a href="https://www.bloomsburycollections.com/book/covid-19-and-shame-political-emotions-and-public-health-in-the-uk/ch3-coughing-while-asian-shame-and-racialized-bodies" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Coughing while Asian: Shame and Racialised Bodies</a> by Fred Cooper, Luna Dolezal and Arthur Rose in Covid-19 and Shame: Political Emotions and Public Health in the UK. </p><p>Nikita Simpson’s work with Laura Bear and the Covid and Care research group at LSE also deals significantly with questions of shame and stigma, and you can find out more about their work - and read their project reports - <a href="https://www.lse.ac.uk/anthropology/research/COVID-and-Care-Research-Group" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.
