Deadline for submissions extended to June 17

Memory Lives On: Documenting the HIV/AIDS Epidemic is an interdisciplinary symposium exploring and reflecting on topics related to archives and the practice of documenting the stories of HIV/AIDS. 

The task of documenting the history of HIV/AIDS and thinking about the present and future of the epidemic is daunting. The enormity and complexity of the stories and perspectives on the disease, which has affected so many millions of patients and families around the world, present significant challenges that demand continual reexamination. Questions of “what do we collect and from where” and “whose stories do we know best.”  The ways in which we handle documentary evidence and produce knowledge from that evidence has profound effects on a huge range of social, economic and health outcomes. In examining and reflecting on our knowledge of the history of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and its future, we hope to improve our understanding of the true effects of the disease, and what it can teach us about future epidemics.

The program committee invites submissions for presentations addressing the HIV/AIDS epidemic from the wide-ranging perspectives of historians, archivists and librarians, artists, journalists, activists and community groups, scientific researchers, health care providers, and people living with HIV. We invite proposals from individuals with diverse experience and expertise on the HIV/AIDS epidemic in scholarship, research and advocacy. Proposals will be considered in a variety of forms including paper presentations, panel discussions and posters. 

The Symposium will take place in Byers Auditorium in Genentech Hall at the UCSF Mission Bay Campus in San Francisco, October 4th and 5th 2019.  The program will be an afternoon session and evening reception the first day, followed by a full day of presentations the second. 

The Program Committee has identified the following themes to consider when developing your proposal, though we encourage creativity and experimentation in exploring themes, partnerships, and narrative ideas. 

  • Documenting the epidemic: Gaps, silences and unheard voices
  • Creating an interdisciplinary narrative of an epidemic
  • Silent no more: Community, caretaker and patient stories 
  • The San Francisco Bay Area’s Response to the AIDS Epidemic 
  • Biomedical story: From mystery disease to cure 
  • From local to global: Learning from AIDS to address future epidemics

The Program Committee welcomes proposals for individual papers, panel discussion and posters. Individual papers with a similar focus will be assembled into a single session by the program committee. Usually 3-4 papers are included in a session.

To allow adequate time for questions and discussion,  panels should be limited to four participants in addition to a chair/facilitator.

Please include the following in your complete proposal

  • Session title if submitting a full panel proposal (of no more than 20 words)
  • Session abstract if submitting a full panel proposal (up to 500 words)
  • Short session abstract for the program if submitting a full panel proposal (up to 50 words)
  • Paper or poster or presentation titles (if any), and names of corresponding presenters
  •  Biographical paragraph for each presenter
  •  E-mail address for each participant
  •  Affiliation, city, state, and country for each participant
  •  Social media handles or web addresses for each participant (optional)
  •  Audiovisual needs
  • Special accommodation needs

The deadline for submissions is June 17. We will notify presenters if their proposal has been accepted by July 22.

Introducing Kelly Hacker Jones

  By
Jones at Bridal Veil Falls in the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon, on a recent trip. As with many things in life, getting down from that rock was much more difficult than getting up it.


Kelly is our Education and Outreach Fellow and we asked her to write a quick post to introduce herself:

I taught a course on the history of healthcare in America at Baruch College this past semester. As a bonus question on their final exam, I asked my students what they learned in the course. This class’s answers were overall fairly typical – marvel at the rapid expansion of medical innovation in the twentieth century, outrage at past injustices in medical experimentation – but one student’s answer in particular piqued my interest. She wrote that she was surprised to learn that there is a history of medicine and healthcare (she had registered for the course at the last minute to fill a requirement). What she took away from the course, was an awareness that how we think about and treat disease, is informed by social and cultural factors – race, class, and gender – not only by scientific discoveries and technological innovations. She also wrote that she felt this material should be introduced to students at an earlier stage, perhaps during high school. As a teacher, those are the moments I live for: when a student realizes the relevance of historical context to their own daily life and sees a need to share it with others.

In my career to date, I have pursued projects in public history alongside my academic training. I have held positions as a docent at the Indiana Medical History Museum, as a historical walking tour guide in New York, and as an educator at the Museum of the City of New York. Each position required that I present difficult, sometimes contentious material to audiences ranging from school children to older adults, in an engaging, comprehensible manner. Mirroring the distinction between academic and public history, I pursue questions pertaining to the differentiation between expert and lay knowledge in my own research. My PhD dissertation, completed in summer 2018 at Stony Brook University, examined the adaptation of traditional Chinese medicine to the American medical marketplace during the mid-twentieth century. I engaged in such issues as the patient’s right to choose from therapies offered in a free medical marketplace, the authority of physicians to judge non-biomedical therapies as safe and effective, and the role of government to play referee in issues pertaining to health.

In short, understanding the divide between expert and general knowledge and finding ways to bridge that gap has become a sort of personal mission of mine. One way to do this, is to engage non-academics more directly in the study and creation of history, which is the reason why the Education & Outreach Fellowship appeals to me. My goal in this position, is to make the vast amount of materials in the Medical Heritage Library’s online collections more accessible to the public and to K-12 teachers – as well as to researchers – helping to bring the history of medicine to a broader audience. I am working to create digital exhibits that provide context and illuminate relationships between key sources on a given subject (first vaccination, then other topics including disability history, gender in the field of medicine, and others). As I have often told my students, everything has a history. Making this history more accessible will, I feel, provide more nuance in discussions of contemporary health issues.

From Our Partners: Normalizing Sex Research and Education in America: Robert Latou Dickinson in Perspective

  By

~This post courtesy Emily Gustainis, Deputy Director, Center for the History of Medicine at the Francis A. Countway Library of Harvard Medical School and vice-president of the Medical Heritage Library, Inc.

Physician Robert Latou Dickinson (1861–1950) resists categorization. He was a long-time obstetrician and gynecologist; a research scientist invested in sexual health who influenced Alfred Kinsey and notions of sexuality; a birth control and reproductive sterilization advocate; an anatomist who authored an influential atlas of reproductive anatomy/ an artist who illustrated his own scientific texts; and a public health educator whose popular sculptures and models changed the way the public visualized the birth process. “Normalizing Sex Research and Education in America: Robert Latou Dickinson in Perspective” will explore different aspects of Dickinson’s long career, addressing his work in reproductive health and family planning, his time spent as a sex educator and artist at the New York Academy of Medicine, his Birth Series models created for the 1939 World’s Fair, and his depictions of human anatomy and concepts of normalization through his models Norma and Normman. Dickinson’s legacy is still with us today, and his personal papers and models remain some of the Center for the History of Medicine’s most-used collections. With the help of these four scholars, we hope to better understand the impact and legacy that Robert Latou Dickinson continues to exert on our current health science and clinical care community.

An exhibition also entitled Normalizing Sex Research and Education in America: Robert Latou Dickinson in Perspective will be on display for the event (L1 of the Countway Library of Medicine).

Speakers

Sarah B. Rodriguez, Ph.D., Senior Lecturer, Global Health Studies, Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences; Lecturer, Medical Education, Feinberg School of Medicine; Faculty, Medical Humanities & Bioethics Graduate Program, all at Northwestern University, Robert Latou Dickinson: Pioneering Researcher.

A founding father of sex research in the United States, a prominent physician who used his position to advocate for access to birth control, and a distinguished clinician: Robert Latou Dickinson, with his deep interest in women’s health, took on all of these roles. In this presentation, Rodriguez will discuss these three roles – sex researcher, birth control advocate, and clinician – of this historically understudied physician, focusing on his pioneering research regarding female sexuality.

Anne Garner, MLS, Curator, Rare Books and Manuscripts Library, The New York Academy of Medicine Library, From the stacks to the studio:  Robert Latou Dickinson’s Academy of Medicine.

Robert Latou Dickinson’s relationship with the New York Academy of Medicine was a critical part of both his professional and creative identity. In 1891, Dickinson became a Fellow of the organization and served on numerous committees, including as Chairman of the Academy’s art committee from 1935-1940.  At the Academy Dickinson was given a dedicated studio space, where he worked on the Birth Series and other three-dimensional anatomical models. While de facto artist-in-residence, Dickinson also engaged Alfred Kinsey to lobby the Academy to open a sex education library. This talk will explore Dickinson’s role as influencer and occasional disrupter within the Academy, as he advocated for sex education and for greater access to medical information for public audiences.

Rosemarie Holz, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Practice, Associate Director, Women’s and Gender Studies, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, “So that which has been lost is now found!” Exploring the magic of the 1939 Dickinson-Belskie Birth Series Sculptures.”

In this presentation Holz will discuss the creation and dissemination of the hugely influential yet surprisingly overlooked 1939 Dickinson-Belskie Birth Series sculptures, which illustrate the process of human development from fertilization through delivery. First displayed at the 1939-1940 World’s Fair in New York City, they were reproduced in a variety of forms and sent out across the United States and overseas, giving rise to modern views of pregnancy decades before Lennart Nilsson’s much-heralded in utero photographs in Lifemagazine in the 1960s. Despite their enormous popularity, by the 1970s and ‘80s the Birth Series began to disappear from public knowledge, eclipsed by new technologies, such as ultrasound, that offered modern ways to view in utero development. Holz will conclude her presentation by describing the Birth Series’ surprising re-birth since their 2014 recovery from the dusty storage collection of the University of Nebraska State Museum, a re-birth that is prompting renewed fascination with these evocative forms and new conversations.

Anna Creadick, Ph.D., Professor of English and American Studies, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Model bodies, normal curves: Norm and Norma in Postwar America. 

In the early 1940s, with their Birth Series models completed, sexologist Robert L. Dickinson and his sculptor-collaborator Abram Belskie created two anthropometric sculptures representing the “average” American male and female bodies. Dickinson named them “Normman and Norma.” Dickinson’s effort to model the “normal” body was indicative of a broader obsession taking hold in midcentury America, as doctors, psychiatrists, physical anthropologists, and scientists began to isolate the normal as a subject, to try and define normality with increasing precision.  In 1945, Dickinson donated the “Norm and Norma” statues along with his Birth Series and other medical models to the Cleveland Health Museum, where they might have just gathered dust. But instead, Norm and Norma began a decade-long tour of the postwar public sphere, appearing in newspaper articles, popular science magazines, television shows, and even a look-alike contest. This presentation tells the story of the wartime production and postwar reception of these models, whose “normal” curves helped to promote a powerful organizing category of postwar culture.

“Ever-evolving: introducing the Medical Heritage Library, Inc.”

  By

We’re delighted to announce that our vice-president, Emily Gustainis, has published a new article in the Journal of the Medical Library Association about the MHL:

The Medical Heritage Library, Inc. (MHL), is a collaborative digitization and discovery organization committed to providing open access to history of medicine and health resources. Since its founding in 2010, it has aspired to be a visible, research-driven history of medicine and health community that serves a broad, interdisciplinary constituency. The MHL’s goal is to make important historical medical content, derived from leading medical libraries, available online free of charge and to simplify and centralize the discovery of these resources. To do so, it has evolved from a digitization collaborative of like-minded history of medicine libraries, special collections, and archives to an incorporated entity seeking not just to provide online access to digital surrogates, but also to embrace the challenges of open access, the retention and use of records containing health information about individuals, and service to the digital humanities. This organizational expansion was further spurred by the MHL’s recently completed National Endowment for the Humanities grant, “Medicine at Ground Level: State Medical Societies, State Medical Journals, and the Development of American Medicine” (PW-228226-15), which received additional financial support from Harvard University Medical School and the Arcadia Fund through the Harvard University Library.

From Our Partners: “Measure of Power? Gender, Phrenology and 19th Century Cultures of Medicine”

  By

~This post courtesy Joan Ilacqua, Archivist for Diversity and Inclusion, Center for the History of Medicine at the Francis A. Countway Library of Harvard Medical School.

We would like to cordially invite you to our upcoming Women in Medicine Legacy Fellow’s lecture, given by Carla Bittel, PhD, our current fellow working at the Countway Library.

Her lecture, “Measure of Power? Gender, Phrenology and 19th Century Cultures of Medicine” will take place at the Countway Library of Medicine on May 16 from 4 to 6pm.

Phrenology, considered a “science of the mind” in the nineteenth century, purported to measure the “power” of human mental faculties. This talk will examine the role of gender in the making of those measurements, and demonstrate how middle-class women—as practitioners and consumers—merged phrenology with multiple forms of medical and domestic knowledge.

Carla Bittel is Associate Professor of History at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. She is a historian of nineteenth-century America, specializing in the history of medicine, science, and technology. Her research focuses on gender issues and she has written on the history of women’s health, women physicians, and the role of science in medicine.

From Our Partners: Upcoming Bullitt History of Medicine Club Lecture

  By ,

~Courtesy Dawne Lucas, Special Collections Librarian, Wilson Special Collections Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Join us on Tuesday, April 16 at 12:00 p.m. for our last Bullitt History of Medicine Club lecture of the Spring 2019 semester. The lecture will take place in the Health Sciences Library, Room 527. Sandwiches will be provided.

Dr. Kurt Gilliland will present “Skeletons in our Closet: Anatomical Eponyms.”

While many eponyms are no longer taught or used in medicine, certain structures in anatomy, embryology, histology, and neuroscience will always be better known by their eponyms than by their descriptive names. The scientists and physicians after whom structures are named remind us of the fascinating history of medicine.

Kurt Gilliland is Associate Dean of Curriculum and Associate Professor, Department of Cell Biology and Physiology for UNC School of Medicine, and the co-author of the 2010 bookAnatomists and Eponyms: The Spirit of Anatomy Past.He teaches anatomy and directs cell biology and histology in several courses for 1st-year and 2nd-year medical students. His educational scholarship evaluates curriculum interventions, and his basic research focuses on the development of the lens of the eye and cataract development. Recent awards include the Academy of Educators Educational Scholarship Award (2018) and the Academy of Educators Foundation Phase Teaching Award (2017).
