I'm impressed that our PhD students organized this conference for other grad students and early career scholars. All are welcome to attend!

Obsessed with this brilliant review by Bonnie Lucero, just published in História, Ciências, Saúde-Manguinhos. I'm especially awe-struck by this paragraph, because of how perfectly she articulates the messy contradictions borne from paternalism in women's healthcare www.academia.edu/126510475/Lu...

Friends at Dartmouth, please consider joining this fabulous group of historians next week for a discussion of Surgery and Salvation, from @uncpress.bsky.social! I'm beyond grateful for their time and for the invitation, and I can't wait to hear their thoughts.

My wonderful @uncpress.bsky.social book editor, Andreína Fernandez, let me know that the blurbs arrived for Surgery and Salvation! I've long admired these scholars and I couldn't be more humbled by, or grateful for, their generous reading of this work. uncpress.org/book/9781469...
