I am excited to be giving a virtual talk on Master of Health to the medical humanities program at Sam Houston State University. More details to come.

Join me, faculty and students for the annual Morris Dillard Lecture at the Yale School of Medicine for an in-person and online discussion of my book Masters of Health: Racial Science and Slavery in U.S. Medical Schools. Sponsored by the Program for Humanities in Medicine.

An in-person event for UC San Diego students and faculty.

Details to come.

Join me, faculty, and students at Harvard Medical School for a discussion of my forthcoming book Masters of Health: Racial Science and Slavery in U.S. Medical Schools. This event has been graciously sponsored by the Office for Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Partnership, the Center for the History of Medicine, and the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School and will be held online.

At this event, I will be workshopping a new chapter from my book manuscript, tentatively titled Masters of Health: Racial Science and Slavery in American Medical Schools. This chapter looks at how racial science influenced the anatomical curriculum, discussing textbooks, lectures, medical museums, and student dissertation created a multi-layered pedagogical system for teaching racial difference.

At this event, I will be presenting a paper entitled: Anatomy Textbooks, Penn Medicine, and the Creation of a National Racial Science Pedagogy. This paper analyzes the way in which medical school textbooks in the first half of the nineteenth century helped create a national medical pedagogy around race.
