The Literature, Medicine, and Culture Colloquium (LMCC) at UNC is excited for our next meeting! We will meet on Wednesday, March 26 at 5:30pm eastern time. Due to some scheduling conflicts, our March meeting will take place strictly over Zoom. We will NOT meet in person. (We will, however, return to the HHIVE Lab for our April meeting, with options for people to join via Zoom as always.)
For March, we will all meet using our usual Zoom link: https://unc.zoom.us/j/99228197675. If you have trouble with the Zoom link, please email either of the Co-Directors.
For our March meeting, we’ll be discussing Bone Rooms: From Scientific Racism to Human Prehistory in Museums by Samuel J. Redman (Harvard University Press, 2016). Specifically, we’d like everyone to read the following:
- Prologue (pp. 1-15)
- Chapter 1: “Collecting Bodies for Science” (pp. 16-68)
- Suggested optional reading: Chapter 3: “The Medical Body on Display” (pp. 126-157)
All members of the UNC community can access the full text of Redman’s monograph online through the UNC Libraries. We’ve also posted .pdfs of these materials onto the “Readings” page of the LMCC website, including the book’s front matter and the table of contents (TOC) and the book’s endnotes. If you run into trouble getting access to the text, please contact one of the Co-Directors. (See our email addresses on the Home page of this site).
If you have any questions, please contact us directly. Please also feel free to share this info with other graduate or professional students who might be interested! We look forward to meeting with you all for an exciting discussion of this work!
Again, our March meeting will take place strictly over Zoom.
