At the height of the eugenics movement, colleges and universities across the United States promoted eugenic logics in their research and teaching. Many of these ideas still persist today. This event will dive into these complex histories at Rutgers and ask how reparative work on eugenics legacies can contribute to the disability justice movement today.

Free and open to faculty, staff, students, and the community.
