Escaping Melodramas: Historical Thinking and the Public Health Service Studies in Tuskegee and Guatamala
Wednesday, May 16, 2012
5:30PM-7:00PM
The U.S. government has now apologized for Public Health Service studies in both Tuskegee (1932-72) and Guatemala (1946-48). This talk will argue that much of the literature on these studies treats them as object lessons on what not to do, casting the doctors as monsters, and turning the studies into historical relics attributable to "racists" from a distant time and place. Dr. Susan M. Reverby will investigate how we can think of racism, scientific certainty and ethical malfeasance outside a melodramatic framework, if this is even possible.
