APG members may be interested in this FREE talk from Professor Beth Linker, Samuel H Preston Endowed Term Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, to be held at King’s College London and online.

Professor Linker will explore how a chance relationship between John F Kennedy and an orthopaedist would go on to inform Cold War notions of physical fitness, and how disabling back pain – and its prevention – rose to national prominence and stoked geopolitical concerns regarding the communist threat.
