  • University of Pennsylvania (map)

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.
