Caitjan Gainty is a Lecturer in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine at King’s College, London. Her research is primarily located in the twentieth century, methodologically and substantively focused at the intersections of medicine, visual and media studies and technology. Her first research project focused on the particular intersection of efficiency and medicine in early to mid- twentieth century US history. Her next builds off of this to think about movement, a key diagnostic and therapeutic category for early twentieth-century practitioners especially, and its material manifestations – film, architecture, objects, design – in medical culture.
