DESCRIPTION:Register for this free online event\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic ha
 s brought unprecedented attention to the work of historians of medicine an
 d public health. Journalists from around the world have asked these schola
 rs to provide "lessons from history" as nations and governments have tried
  to contain and control the pandemic. Providing neat\, helpful lessons has
  been challenging because historians’ answers are often far from simple.
  In this talk\, Evelynn Hammonds will discuss the difficulties of offering
  historical examples that can capture the complex forces that shape all ep
 idemics.\n\nEvelynn Hammonds is chair of the Department of the History of 
 Science and professor of African and African American Studies at Harvard. 
 She is the author of Childhood's Deadly Scourge: The Campaign to Control D
 iphtheria in New York City\, 1880–1930 (Johns Hopkins University Press\,
  1999) and has published articles on the history of disease\, race and sci
 ence\, African American feminism\, African American women and the epidemic
  of HIV/AIDS\, and analyses of gender and race in science and medicine. He
 r current work focuses on the intersection of scientific\, medical\, and s
 ocio-political concepts of race in the United States.\n\nSponsored by the 
 Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics as a part of its 2019-21 theme of 
 inquiry\, Science\, Policy\, and the Public. Cosponsored by the UO Black S
 tudies and Minor Program\, History Department\, and Global Health Minor Pr
 ogram.
