Hard Histories Methods: Studying Human Remains at Hopkins and Beyond

Join Hard Histories at Hopkins for a virtual discussion about innovative methods and ethical issues in bioarcheological investigations, particularly pertaining to university and museum spaces. What moral issues arise when institutions house and study human remains? How can Black feminist theory shed novel light on – and provide novel solutions to – these questions? Collectively, this conversation will offer insight on how Johns Hopkins University and related institutions can newly think about their own holdings. In this discussion, scholars Dr. Aja Lans and Jessica Leigh Hester will be in conversation with Hard Histories at Hopkins Project Director Dr. Martha S. Jones.
