Doctoral Dissertation Research: A History of Pathological Anatomy and Racial Science in America

博士论文研究：美国病理解剖学和种族科学史在兰迪·斯帕克斯的指导下，博士生克里斯托弗·D·威洛比将从事一个科学史项目，该项目将探索病理解剖学和多元发生学(每个种族是不同物种的理论)大致同时兴起的问题。通过档案研究，共同派将分析教授如何讨论新兴的身体理论，特别是在解剖学讲座中，以及这些南北战争前的理论家如何帮助为后达尔文世界出现的医学和科学种族理论定下基调，特别是在优生学和社会达尔文主义中。除了一篇论文外，这位合作者还计划将他的研究成果发表在一本书中，并发表一些文章，其中包括一些面向非专业读者的文章，这些文章将把这部历史著作与科学种族理论如何影响美国社会的更新例子联系起来。

Doctoral Dissertation Research: A History of Pathological Anatomy and Racial Science in America Under the direction of Randy Sparks, Ph.D. student, Christopher D Willoughby, will undertake a history of science project that will explore the roughly simultaneous rise of pathological anatomy and polygenesis (the theory that each race was a different species). Through archival research the co-PI will analyze how professors discussed emerging theories of the body, particularly in anatomical lectures, and how these antebellum theorists helped set the tone for the medical and scientific theories of race that emerged in the post-Darwin world, particularly in eugenics and social Darwinism. In addition to a dissertation, the co-PI plans to publish his results in a book, and articles including ones directed to non-specialist readers which would link the historical work to more recent examples of how scientific theories of race have affected American society.
