The Heberden Society presents Ayah Nuriddin, PhD

Seed and Soil: Black Eugenic Thought in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries

Join Ayah Nuriddin at 5PM EST on Tuesday, November 7, 2023, as she examines the complex and often paradoxical ways in which African Americans imagined the utility of racial science and eugenics for challenging scientific raism and advocating for racial equality. Her lecture will trace how the ongoing legacies of racial science continue to shape African American articulations of racial formation and health disparities, in addition to activism around health inequality.

I'd like to donate books to the library.

Thank you for thinking of the Wood Library. Currently, we don't accept print book donations, as we are transitioning most of our print collection to e-books. We are only acquiring print if that is the only available format and the book is needed for research or teaching purposes. If the book is rare, unique, and historically significant, consider contacting the New York Public Library.
