Eram Alam serves as Assistant Professor of the History of Science at Harvard University, based in Science Center 361. Her research critically examines intersections of medicine, migration, and power within global historical frameworks, with particular focus on twentieth-century dynamics. Alam's scholarship centers on the history of medicine through lenses of globalization, race, and postcolonial theory. Her book The Care of Foreigners analyzes how Cold War-era immigration policies transformed temporary reliance on Asian physicians into a permanent US healthcare feature, revealing systemic segmentation where immigrant doctors serve vulnerable populations. Current projects include co-editing Ordering the Human: Global Science and Racial Reason (Columbia University Press) examining race as political technology in scientific knowledge production, and The Logistical Body investigating pandemic-exposed tensions between hypermobility and embodied labor. Her publication trajectory demonstrates consistent engagement with structural inequities in global health systems. Articles analyze historical roots of US dependence on foreign medical graduates, neocolonial dimensions of healthcare workforce policies, and standardization mechanisms shaping medical professionals' experiences. This body of work establishes critical connections between immigration policy frameworks, medical education systems, and health equity outcomes across transnational contexts. Regarding academic mentorship and research funding, the available documentation does not specify current advisees, doctoral committees, or externally funded research grants.
