The ERC-funded project ‘Death, Smoke, and Mirrors: Manipulation of Health Data in Liberal and Authoritarian Custodial Institutions’ (2025–2030) investigates how custodial institutions in both liberal and authoritarian regimes manipulated health and mortality data from the nineteenth to the twentieth century, and what these practices reveal about governance, accountability, and the politics of life and death.
