AfterNow: What's next for the health of society? Podcast

Western civilisation has conquered great health perils in the past. But the peculiarly modern malaise seems resistant to treatment. Obesity, depression, addiction, loss of wellbeing – these are issues which sap the resources and spirit of modern practitioners. The AfterNow Project seeks to trace the development of our current situation by unpacking the ideas which shape and limit contemporary responses... and look to a brave new future for public health.
