TechnoViews #19 ‘Soda Science. Making the World Safe for Coca-Cola’ | Susan Greenhalgh (Harvard University)
<p>Susan GREENHALGH, interviewed by Gonçalo SANTOS and Jun ZHANG on 28/February/2025</p><p>ABOUT THIS EPISODE</p><p>In this episode, anthropologist and science studies specialist Susan Greenhalgh talks about her most recent book, Soda Science. Making the World Safe for Coca-Cola, taking TechnoViews listeners deep inside the secret world of corporate science, where powerful companies and allied academic scientists mold research to meet industry needs. The episode begins with a brief account of how industry leader Coca-Cola mobilized allies in academia to create a soda-defense science that would protect the industry’s profits by advocating physical exercise, not dietary restraint, as the priority solution to the problem of obesity. The goal of soda science was to use science to discourage the introduction of restrictive public policies like soda taxes that would threaten the revenues of giant soda companies like Coca-Cola. The author then explains why soda science should not be seen as fake science; it is real science, conducted by real and eminent scientists, but distorted to serve corporate benefits. This corruption of the science of obesity raises crucial questions about conflicts of interest in scientific research and the cunning ways giant corporations like Coca-Cola come to shape our diets, lifestyles, and health to their own needs. The author then establishes a contrast between the effects of soda science in China and in the US, and she then discusses some of the biggest challenges she faced during her research in these two countries on such a sensitive topic. Finally, the author discusses the importance of anthropology and the social sciences in the current era of misinformation and disinformation, sharing a few stories that were not included in the book.</p><p></p><p>FEATURED AUTHOR</p><p>Susan GREENHALGH is the John King and Wilma Cannon Fairbank Professor of Chinese Society Emerita at Harvard University. An anthropologist, her interests lie in the entanglements of state, corporation, science, and society, and their consequences for human health and social justice writ large. She is author of Just One-Child: Science and Policy in Deng's China; and Cultivating Global Citizens: Population in the Rise of China; co-author of Governing China's Population: From Leninist to Neoliberal Biopolitics; and co-editor of Can Science and Technology Save China?, among other titles.</p><p></p><p>BOOK WEBSITE</p><p>Greenhalgh, Susan. 2024.

<p>John B. LOURDUSAMY and Tiago SARAIVA<em>, interviewed by Gonçalo SANTOS and Jun ZHANG</em> on 13/August/2024</p><p> </p><p>ABOUT THIS EPISODE</p><p>Dr. Lourdusamy and Dr. Saraiva present their recently published book, <em>Moving Crops and the Scales of History</em>, speaking on behalf of a larger collective of authors that includes also Francesca Bray and Barbara Hahn. The episode begins with a discussion of key concepts such as the “cropscape” and the “scales of history,” showing how these concepts challenge stereotypical understandings of historical processes, breaking open traditional historical structures of period, geography and direction and revealing the significance of previously invisible actors and forces. Significant attention is given to the process of book composition. The authors provide unique insights on the process of writing and the criteria that were used to select crops and stories. We also learn that some crops and stories were left out of the book and the reasons why such crops and stories were not included. Finally, the authors explain how they came together as a collective and discuss the virtues and challenges of the pioneering collaborative model of writing developed in the book.</p><p> </p><p>FEATURED AUTHORS</p><p> </p><p>John B. LOURDUSAMY is an Associate Professor at the Department of Humanities and Social Science, Indian Institute of Technology Madras.
