DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the troubled history of “monstrous birth” i
 n modern U.S. medical science\, tracing the practices and ideas that tran
 sformed newborn bodies into scientific specimens of monstrosity. Recast a
 s a biological phenomenon\, the monster gained new social and cultural sa
 lience across the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century United States. 
 Monstrosity gave form to pervasive anxieties about the meaning of racial 
 difference\, the fragility of racial descent\, and the volatility of wome
 n’s reproduction—and contributed to ideas about deviant and defective bod
 ies that still haunt us today.\n\nSpeaker:\nMiriam Rich\, PhD\n\nAdmissio
