Lyle FEARNLEY, interviewed by Jun ZHANG on 11 August 2021.
ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this podcast episode, we discuss how virus surveillance systems identified China as an "epicenter" or source of pandemics, and discusses how these scientific approaches drive a broader "geography of blame." Drawing on Fearnley's book on avian and pandemic influenza science in China, we explore why wet markets, wild animal foods, and China's rural farmers are repeatedly blamed for the emergence of new diseases.
