The New-York Historical Society’s Center for Women’s History is pleased to partner with the ITPS (Institute for Thomas Paine Studies) at Iona University for the third season of Public History in a Virtual Age. In the first half of the season, co-hosts Dr. Kellen Heniford, historical consultant and formerly of the ITPS, and Jeanne Gutierrez, Curatorial Scholar in Women’s History, will interview curators, educators, and scholars at the New-York Historical Society to explore the many ways in which New York’s first museum presents women’s history and gender history to the public. The second half of the season will focus specifically on how public historians in and around New York City address the history of women who are underrepresented in museum and archival collections, with a focus on enslaved women, Indigenous women, and immigrant women.

Public Health-Public History

The year 2020 demonstrated that public health, broadly defined, cannot be separated from public history. Our host, Dr. Lindsay M. Chervinsky, interviews a series of experts on public health, disease, education, slavery, and race over the course of three episodes. They discuss how education and cultural institutions can interpret the history of disease, medicine, and racism as interrelated issues that continue to challenge the nation today. Listen to all three episodes and read the show notes.
