SUMMARY:Chris Willoughby\, "Collected without Consent: Imperialism and Enslavement in Harvard’s Medical Museum."
DESCRIPTION:Nov 1 Chris Willoughby (Huntington Library) \n“Collected without Consent: Imperialism and Enslavement in Harvard’s Medical Museum.” \nCo-sponsored with the Atlantic field \n  \nIn 1847\, upon his retirement\, John Collins Warren gave his entire anatomical collection to Harvard’s medical school\, including a  collection of racial skulls that would grow to include more than 150 objects. In this presentation\, I will specifically analyze how skulls from the Black Atlantic were collected and dubbed “African\,” attempting to erase their individual and cultural identities in favor of their  simple racialization. Specifically\, I will examine the story of two skulls of African descendants\, an unnamed leader from the 1835 Muslim Uprising in Bahia and another of Sturmann\, a Khoe man from Little Namaqua Land who committed suicide in Boston in 1860 while a living exhibit. In telling their stories\, I have two goals. First\, I will posit a method for writing the history of racist museum exhibitions that does not continue the silencing of marginalized peoples displayed in those exhibits. Second\, I argue that medical schools were intimately connected to the violence of slavery and empire. Through giving attention to the experiences of the skulls’ living antecedents though\, I show that hidden in these records are histories of rebellion\, politics\, and survival in the age of empire. \n  \nFor remote participants: \nPlease click here to register and receive a Zoom link \n  \nFor those joining us on campus\, RSVP and symptom monitoring is required. Please be prepared to show your clearance status when entering the seminar room. \nPlease RSVP using this form if you will be attending in person \n  \nFor visitors coming from other institutions\, please remember that UCLA has a vaccine mandate and that everyone coming to campus needs to fill out the daily symptom monitoring form which can be found here: \nhttps://uclasurveys.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3qRLtouCYKzBbH7
