This year's speaker will be Dr. Rana Hogarth, from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Hogarth’s book, Medicalizing Blackness: Making Difference in the Atlantic World, for which she used the Waring collection, is a broad look at the medical world in the late 18th and early 19th century. Dr. Hogarth will present on the topic “Professional Pursuits and the Making of Race: Medicalizing Blackness in the American Atlantic.”

Dr. Hogarth’s book can be purchased from the University of North Carolina Press.
