Nicole E. Barnes, Associate Professor

Nicole E. Barnes

Please note: Nicole has left the "History" group at Duke University; some info here might not be up to date.

I research public health and medicine in twentieth-century China from a gendered perspective, incorporating the changing life stories of men and women into my analysis of how health regulations and medical practices reflect Chinese society's principal values as well as the assumptions and political goals of state actors.
