Critical Histories, Activist Futures: Science, Medicine, and Racial Violence Conference

The graduate students of Yale University’s Program in History of Science and Medicine are excited to host “Critical Histories and Activist Futures: Science, Medicine and Racial Violence” on February 24 and 25, 2017. Last year, we were inspired by the conversations and actions taking place across college and university campuses, especially the activism led by Yale undergraduates in the NextYale movement, on issues of racial violence and social justice. We gathered to think about how we could contribute to these conversations as historians of science and medicine. One of the results is this conference.
