Katrina Perehudoff from the Law Centre for Health and Life has received Faculty Strategic Research Funds for a pilot project on the history of EU pharmaceutical regulation and its colonial linkages. This pilot project questions whether there is any evidence that European imperialism played a role in the making of Europe’s modern transnational pharmaceutical industry and in the establishment of the European Community’s single market for pharmaceuticals.

The project combines archival and legal research to cast a critical eye on the European Community's early industrial pharmaceutical policy and identify any linkages its origins have with colonialism.

This project is the first step in understanding the role of colonisation in the making of the modern EU pharmaceutical market. This understanding is a critical puzzle piece for our conception of the EU as a global actor, and our study of the EU's hand in creating the conditions causing inequitable access to medicines worldwide. Katrina Perehudoff

The preliminary findings from this project will be presented at the University Association of Contemporary European Studies conference in Trento, Italy in September 2024 in the panel titled 'Colonial legacies in the European collective memory'.
