Atlantic Antidote: Race, Gender, and the Birth of the First Vaccine
In 1804, the Spanish Crown introduced the smallpox vaccine to its empire, where vaccination was voluntary and where consent was a natural right ceded to parents. Despite these ostensible protections, authorities relied on enslaved, Indigenous, and other dispossessed bodies to incubate and reproduce the live vaccine and transport it across the empire. Analyzing this set of historical relations, Dr. Yero will ask what consent meant for parents and for children who were compelled to navigate epidemic disease, new means of prevention, but also the unequal structures of power that worked to narrowly define both freedom and moth...

Women Leaders in Academic Research: Do What You Love, Love What You Do: An Anthology of Perspectives on Choosing the Right Path for YOU
