Category: Our Videos

We’re delighted to be able to announce the first of the recorded and captioned videos from our spring speaker series held back in March and April of this year. Our first speaker was Nora O’Neill, a first-year medical student at Yale School of Medicine. She is pursuing a combined MD-PhD in the History of Science and Medicine. In 2018, she completed her bachelor’s degree from Harvard University in the History of Science, focusing on the intersection of disability rights and reproductive justice. At Yale, she plans to study the social constructions of disability in medical and social activist spaces. As a physician historian, she hopes to engage in patient-centered care while also unraveling the historical complexities of the patient-doctor relationship. Her talk is titled “Carry On: The Depiction of Post-War Disability in Government Propaganda and Consumer Culture, 1919-1925.”

And last but not least: the video with corrected captions of our last 2020 fall conference session!

With Beth Lander, Jonathan Jones, and Whitney Arnold.

Featuring Catherine DeRose, Peter Leonard, Krista Stracka, Kate Tasker, and Rachel Taketa.

Last week any of you who tried to click on the video for the first session of our 2020 conference may have noticed quite a few technical difficulties.

We’d like to apologize for those — we’re new to offering content on YouTube — and offer this corrected version!

We’re delighted to be able to release our second conference video this week: session one, chaired by Robin Naughton and with presenters Hélène Cazes and Amber Hinde!

We’re delighted to be able to make public the first video from our November conference, Jaipreet Virdi’s keynote: Digitized Disability Histories.
