On Black Soldiers, Medicine, and the War Between the States

As one might surmise from the tacked post, I have recently begun to take advantage of podcasted/webcasted space as it relates to the medical humanities.  Yes, at this late hour I arrive.

In any case, I'll try to mark down here any lectures or presentations that could interest a medical humanities audience.

The University of Virginia has an outstanding collection of academic podcasts, and I recently listened to a lecture given by Margaret Humphreys in the History of the Health Sciences Lectures series.  The lecture is entitled Intensely Human: The Health of Black Soldiers in the American Civil War (links to mp3 or Flash Player, ~ 56 minutes long).

Humphreys, of course, is one of the world's leading historians of medicine, and is in particular an expert on the history of medicine and public health in the American South.  The lecture is as fascinating and as incisive as any of Humphreys' work.

Wow, thanks! 2007 has been a great year for history podcasting--and it looks like it'll keep growing in 2008, at this rate.
