Dr. Kirsten Gardner appeared in a powerful, moving, and comprehensive look at the development of cancer screening for women and the key roles women played as medical activists in the PBS series The American Experience: Cancer Detectives.
Dr. Anne Hardgrove was invited by Merry Wisener-Hanks and Mathew Kuefler to write the chapter on Sexuality and Postcolonialism in the Cambridge World History of Sexualities Volume 2. This expansive field spans multiple time periods and regions, and her background in teaching postcolonial World History at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, along with courses on gender and sexuality, provided her with the foundation to develop a chapter that explores how sexuality was central to the colonial project.
In addition to her latest publication Roe v Wade Fifty Years After, Professor Catherine Clinton was part of the Institute of Public Policy discussion on the life and death of Abraham Lincoln with D.C. Mayor Sharon Pratt and was featured in a podcast with Dr. Rebecca Fraser on Harriet Tubman.
