Warwick Hugh Anderson, physician, poet, and historian, is an Australian Research Council Laureate Fellow and Research Professor in the Department of History and Centre for Values, Ethics and the Law in Medicine at the University of Sydney.
Additionally, he is an honorary professor in the School of Population Health, University of Melbourne. He is a fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities and a fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia. As a historian of science and medicine, Anderson focuses on the biomedical dimensions of racial thought, especially in colonial settings, and the globalization of medicine and science. He has introduced anthropological insights and themes to the history of medicine and science; developed innovative frameworks for the analysis of science and globalization; and conducted historical research into the material cultures of scientific exchange. His influential formulation of the postcolonial studies of science and medicine has generated a new style of inquiry within science and technology studies.
