Leslie uses the social and cultural history of Civil War medicine and science to probe the question of how and why anti-Black racism survived the destruction of slavery. Leslie's talk will describe how white Northerners—the U.S. Sanitary Commission and Army medical personnel—conducted wartime research aimed at proving Black medical and biological inferiority. She argues that this research not only led to the mistreatment of Black soldiers and civilians, it also promoted the notion of white a...

In the face of loss and injustice, what responses are available to us? For an ancient Greek (and perhaps for us too), the response to injustice is likely to be active: deeds of vengeance, like war, or the pursuit of (say) hefty civic penalties. The Homeric Hymn to Demeter, however, offers an intriguing alternative view. The goddess pursues the restitution of her stolen daughter through a refusal to act. The hymn draws attention to this paradox—the effectiveness of inaction—by emphasizing Dem...

Starting from one of the biggest in both scale and edition size, the 1493 Nuremberg Chronicle, which was printed from hundreds of woodcut blocks, to others containing mystical puzzles or movable parts, no two copies of a pre-modern book were ever the same. This look at annotating, collecting, and censoring them, as well as keeping things in them will s...
