SUMMARY:SHC November Lecture: Parker Dhillon\, 2025 Worthington Essay Winner
DESCRIPTION:Graduate Award Winner: Parker Dhillon\nLecture Title: Dust and 
 Disease: Phosphate Mining\, Racialized Labor\, and Environmental Health in 
 Post-Reconstruction Charleston\n\n📅 Date & Time: Wednesday\, November 
 12th\, 2025\, at Noon\n📍 Location: MUSC Library\, 4th Floor\, Room 424 
 and live stream on Zoom\n🍕 Lunch will be provided for in-person 
 attendees!\n\nWe are proud to recognize Parker Dhillon\, a second-year 
 medical student at the Medical University of South Carolina\, as the 
 recipient of the 2025 W. Curtis Worthington\, Jr. Essay Contest Graduate 
 Award for his paper "Dust and Disease: Phosphate Mining\, Racialized 
 Labor\, and Environmental Health in Post-Reconstruction 
 Charleston."\n\nDhillon’s research explores the South Carolina phosphate 
 mining industry from the 1870s through the early twentieth century\, 
 analyzing how this vital sector of Charleston’s post-Reconstruction 
 economy came at a devastating cost. His study reveals how African American 
 laborers\, central to the industry’s success\, were subjected to coercive 
 labor practices\, hazardous working conditions\, and long-term 
 environmental health consequences. The paper sheds light on the racialized 
 dynamics of industrial labor and the persistent effects of environmental 
 injustice.\n\nThough trained in the basic sciences\, Dhillon developed a 
 deep interest in medical history through coursework in literature and the 
 humanities at the University of South Carolina. He is currently pursuing a 
 career in neurosurgery with a focus on spinal pathology.\n\nJoin us on 
 November 12th at Noon for this timely and thought-provoking lecture\, 
 hosted by the Student History Club. Attend virtually or in person in Room 
 424 of the MUSC Library’s 4th Floor — and enjoy pizza with the SHC 
 community!
