March 27, 2013
Time: 5:30-7 p.m.

 “Intensely Human: The Health of Black Soldiers in the American Civil War,” will be presented by Margaret Humphreys, M.D., Ph.D., Josiah Charles Trent Professor in the History of Medicine, Duke University, and editor of the Journal of the History of Medicine. A specialist in the history of science and medicine, Dr. Humphreys’ research focuses primarily on infectious disease in the United States and the American south, while her current research explores the history of medicine during the Civil War. Until the last half of the 20th-century, diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, pellagra and hookworm marked the south as tropical, impoverished and strikingly different from the rest of the United States.

See you there,
