Mark Harrison argues that medicine played a vital part in the war, helping to sustain the morale of troops and their families, and reducing the wastage of manpower. Effective medical provisions were vital to the continuation of the war in all the major theatres, for both political and operational reasons.\n\nIn the Media\n------------\n\n[War, Health and Medicine: The medical lessons of World War I](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct0pdH-Z-6Y)\n\n### War, Health and Medicine: The medical lessons of World War I\n\n**May 2015**\n\n[Risk and Security in the Age of Pandemics](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boBmjzdANB8)\n\n### Risk and Security in the Age of Pandemics\n\n**July 2014**\n\nCurrent DPhil Students\n----------------------\n\nThe list was updated\n\n[Rachael Andrews](https://www.history.ox.ac.uk/people/rachael-andrews)\n\n### Rachael Andrews\n\nDPhil Student\n\n[Nikita Arora](https://www.history.ox.ac.uk/people/nikita-arora)\n\n### Nikita Arora\n\nDPhil Student\n\n,\n\nHertford College\n\n[Utsa Bose](https://www.history.ox.ac.uk/people/utsa-bose)\n\n### Utsa Bose\n\nDPhil Student\n\n[Shelley Castle](https://www.history.ox.ac.uk/people/shelley-castle)\n\n### Shelley Castle\n\nDPhil Student\n\n,\n\nSomerville College\n\n[Nilanjana Dutta](https://www.history.ox.ac.uk/people/nilanjana-dutta)\n\n### Nilanjana Dutta\n\nDPhil Student\n\n,\n\nOxford Centre for History of Science, Medicine, and Technology\n\n[Joseph Foster](https://www.history.ox.ac.uk/people/joseph-foster)\n\n### Joseph Foster\n\nDPhil Student\n\n[David Gawkrodger](https://www.history.ox.ac.uk/people/david-gawkrodger)\n\n### David Gawkrodger\n\nDPhil Student\n\n[Paula Larsson](https://www.history.ox.ac.uk/people/paula-larsson)\n\n### Paula Larsson\n\nDPhil Candidate\n\n,\n\nCentre for the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology\n\n[Jagyoseni Mandal](https://www.history.ox.ac.uk/people/jagyoseni-mandal)\n\n### Jagyoseni Mandal\n\nDPhil Student\n\n,\n\nChrist Church College\n\n[Ben Rymer](https://www.history.ox.ac.uk/people/benjamin-rymer)\n\n### Ben Rymer\n\nDPhil Student\n\n[Asmita Sarkar](https://www.history.ox.ac.uk/people/asmita-sarkar)\n\n### Asmita Sarkar\n\nDPhil Student\n\n[Hanzhi Zhang](https://www.history.ox.ac.uk/people/hanzhi-zhang)\n\n### Hanzhi Zhang\n\nDPhil Student\n\n,\n\nMerton\n\nTeaching\n--------\n\nI would like to hear from potential DPhil students in any area of my research interests\n\n* * *\n\nI currently teach:\n\nMasters:\n\n* Methods and Themes in the History of Medicine\n* Disease, Medicine and Colonialism in South Asia\n* Medicine and Modern Warfare \n \n\n
