The Novel Stakes of Social Medicine

Social medicine is an umbrella term for a plurality of initiatives unfolding in diverse ways since the 19th century and attempting to solve social problems and make access to medicine easier and fair. In other words, social medicine has been considered as a way to achieve social justice through medical and health practices. Social medicine has also been drawing widely on exchanges and collaborations with social sciences, bringing new modes of understanding the ‘social’, as well as new forms of practices and teaching in medicine and health professions. This event interrogates the different forms of social medicine in relation to contemporary stakes such as climate change, technological imperative, global health, or economic rationalization.
