Abstract
dc.description.abstract
We appreciate this opportunity to respond to Dr. Waitzkin’s commentary. But first, we want to provide some background on the origins of our article. We first met in Santiago in 2016, when Carter, a historical geographer with many publications on the history of public health, was in the early stages of a book project on the origins of Latin American social medicine. Meanwhile, Sánchez Delgado, a historian of science, has just completed his dissertation on early twentieth-century eugenics in Chile and Argentina, and was in the midst of a three-year project, funded by Chile’s Fondecyt, to analyze the actors and networks involved in the development of anatomical pathology as a discipline in Chile from the late nineteenth century to 1950.
