Please join the Bailiwick of Ivyeinrust as we host a guest speaker on museum curation for human remains in this FREE, VIRTUAL talk!

Sarah Bernstein got her BA from the University of Pennsylvania and is currently a student in a dual degree program, pursuing both a M. A. in public history at North Carolina State University and a M. S. in library science at the UNC School of Information and Library Science. Her background is in the sociology and history of medicine, studying unorthodox and fringe medicine in the United States and England to gain insight into the creation of medical legitimacy and establishment of medical authority. She is currently researching the ethics of human remains on display in medical collections, museums, and related contexts. Sarah has kindly agreed to share this research with us. 

Please come to this talk. Please spread the word and invite anyone you might think would be interested as well.
