个人简介
Wen-Hua Kuo is a professor at National Yang-Ming University, Taiwan, where he teaches social studies of medicine. A licensed physician and certified acupuncturist, his work revolves around pharmaceutical regulation and its social impacts in an East Asian context. His scholarly publications appear in a range of journals crossing several disciplines, including the Journal of Law, Medicine, and Ethics, Drug Information Journal, Asian Medicine, Science, Technology and Society, and Social Science & Medicine. His current research includes harmonization controversies in East Asian traditional medicines. He has been served as the editor-in-chief of East Asian Science, Technology and Society: an International Journal, one of the few journals serving as a bridge between STS studies done in and about this region, since 2016.
My current interest moves to the globalization of medicine and its impact on East Asian countries from three lines of approach. From the "high culture" perspective, I am looking at how Japan and Taiwan encounter the standardization of the requirements for new drug approval. This working dissertation discusses several players involved in global pharmaceuticals, thus presenting an exciting history with STS interest.
These work extends an established research interest in governmental interventions in public health.
My previous work in this area critically examined the population control policies of 1950s and 1960s Taiwan. The global perspective of this research has enabled me to conduct a historical project which aims to achieve a broader understanding of how leprosy was conceived and treated in the 1950s and 1960s Taiwan and East Asia.
The third line of approach, which can be referred as "reading science/medicine in culture", has to do with the phenomenon of popular science culture in East Asia. In my undergraduate classes, I try to provide students with another way to examine how science and medicine are articulated in "non-Western" cultures.
