How Healers Became Killers: Eugenics, Power, and Justice.
January 13 @ 12:00 am - 2:00 pm MST
On Monday, January 27, 2025, from Noon – 2:00pm (MT), in recognition of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Dr. Matt Wynia, MD, MPH, will lead a powerful discussion titled “How Healers Became Killers: Eugenics, Power, and Justice.” This talk delves into the chilling history of eugenics, tracing its influence on Nazi racial policies and its connection to U.S. racial laws, revealing how medicine has been used to perpetuate oppression. Joined by Dr. Spero M. Manson, PhD (Little Shell Chippewa), who will provide insights into the medical treatment of Indigenous peoples, the event challenges attendees to confront uncomfortable truths about medicine’s role in societal inequities. With reflections on history and exploration of contemporary issues like health disparities and genetic ethics, this thought-provoking event underscores the ongoing responsibility of medicine to advance justice and safeguard human dignity.
