    Reproductive Subjects: The Global Politics of Health in China, 1927-1964 by Joshua Hubbard A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History and Women’s Studies) in the University of Michigan 2017 Associate Professor Pär Cassel, Co-Chair Professor Wang Zheng, Co-Chair Professor Susan Greenhalgh, Harvard University Professor Mrinalini Sinha Professor Elizabeth Wingrove Joshua Hubbard [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0001-5850-4314 © Joshua Hubbard 2017 Acknowledgements I am indebted to friends and colleagues who have provided support—in a myriad of ways—along my long and winding path toward completing this dissertation. First and foremost, I want to thank my husband, Joseph Tychonievich, who now knows more about Chinese history than he ever cared to know. He has cooked meals, provided encouragement, helped me think through arguments and questions, and offered feedback on early drafts. Many wonderful people have come into my life since I began my graduate education, but he is chief among them. I am also especially thankful to my sister, Heather Burke, who has been an enduring source of friendship and support for decades. Faculty at Marshall University guided me as I began developing the skills necessary for historical research. I am especially grateful to Fan Shuhua, David Mills, Greta Rensenbrink, Robert Sawrey, Anara Tabyshalieva, Chris White, and Kat Williams. As an East Asian studies master’s student at The Ohio State University, I received excellent mentorship from Joseph Ponce, Christopher Reed, Patricia Sieber, and Ying Zhang. The strong cohort of Chinese studies graduate students there, many of whom have since gone on to become faculty, also pushed me to think deeply and across disciplines.

It 8 also investigates the use of ‘contagion’ as a concept in postmodern re- 9 thinking of embodied subjectivity. 20111 These essays are written from within the fields of cultural studies, 1 biomedical history and critical sociology. The contributors examine 2 the geographies, policies and identities which have been produced in the 3 massive social effort to contain diseases. They explore both social responses 4 to infectious diseases in the past, and contemporary theoretical and biomed- 5 ical sites for the study of contagion. 6 7 Alison Bashford is Chair of the Department of Gender Studies at the 8 University of Sydney. She writes on the cultural history of medicine in 9 the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

  • 1 Rewriting Quarantine: Pacific History at Australia's Edge Australian
    Rewriting Quarantine: Pacific History at Australia’s Edge Australian Historical Studies, 2015 ALISON BASHFORD AND PETER HOBBINS There is no doubt that the historical geographies of quarantine and racial nationalism overlapped at Sydney’s North Head Quarantine Station. To conflate these practices into a single narrative of immigration restriction, however, obscures other stories and agendas. Drawing upon inscriptions left in the Sydney sandstone by those detained at North Head, we argue that for many Pacific voyagers, quarantine was merely a temporary interruption rather than an exclusionary endpoint or affront. Citing the shuttling trade of ships and crews from New Zealand, Japan and China, this article re- locates North Head from a continental gateway to a Pacific outpost. Quarantine and Australian racial nationalism have had a close relationship, one that has drawn Pacific and Australian pasts together, historically and historiographically. Certainly—as argued a decade ago—there is much in the thick archives of quarantine to align defence against disease with a Federation impulse to construct the new Australian nation as both clean and aspirationally white.1 But in the context of a more recent historical focus on active Chinese responses and presences within an apparently white Australia, novel sources have prompted us to challenge the straightforward conflation of anti-Chinese activity and quarantine. First gazetted as a Quarantine Ground in 1832, by the early 1850s Sydney’s North Head housed a permanent Quarantine Station. It was, however, far from an obligatory 1 point of call or a processing centre for all maritime arrivals in the Colony of New South Wales.

Based on extensive, thus far unexplored archival material, medical and popular literature, newspapers, audiovisual sources, memoirs and oral history interviews, the dissertation argues that due to the particularities of polio, unique spaces of cooperation opened between antagonistic sides while Cold War concepts simultaneously influenced policies and practices of disease prevention and treatment. Polio became an issue that reached over Cold War divisions, due to four attributes of the disease: the new phenomenon of epidemic polio in the 20th century; the importance of children as the main age group of the disease; the debilitating effects of the virus; and that polio was a global disease. The dissertation analyses the history of polio in Hungary at multiple registers. On an international level, it asks how Cold War divisions can be re-evaluated when viewed through the lens of a disease that disregarded borders and ideologies.

  • 1 TERRAQUEOUS HISTORIES ALISON BASHFORD University Of
    TERRAQUEOUS HISTORIES ALISON BASHFORD University of Cambridge Abstract: In her Inaugural Lecture, Alison Bashford, Vere Harmsworth Professor of Imperial and Naval History, introduces the concept of ‘terraqueous histories’. Maritime historians often stake large claims on world history, and it is indeed the case that the connections and distinctions between land and sea are everywhere in the many traditions of world history-writing. Collapsing the land/sea couplet is useful and ‘terraqueous’ history serves world historians well. The term returns the ‘globe’ to global history, it signals sea as well as land as claimable territory, and in its compound construction foregrounds the history and historiography of meeting places. If the Vere Harmsworth Chair of Imperial and Naval History has recently turned from ‘imperial’ into ‘world’ history, so might its ‘naval’ element become terraqueous history in the twenty-first century. 1 ‘Imperial and naval history’ is an idiosyncratic couplet. Its complex relation to world history charts curious twists and turns in twentieth-century historiography. The first Vere Harmsworth professor, John Holland Rose, presented his inaugural – ‘Naval History and National History’ – on Trafalgar Day, 1919. Well might he do so, since the chair was originally dedicated solely to naval history.1 Prompted by the Royal Empire Society, ‘imperial’ was only added in 1932, and was in place for the election of Admiral Sir Herbert Richmond. And yet Richmond reverted to naval history even more strongly than Holland Rose. Historicising and contextualising his own profession, he presented ‘Naval History and the Citizen’ as his inaugural in 1934.2 Since then, the study of imperial history has dominated the work of successive Vere Harmsworth chairs, with land-history and sea-history receding and advancing, like the tides: E.A.
