SUMMARY:Healing\, Mobility\, & Fugitive Logic: Revisiting Harriet Tubman as Both a Healer & Intellectual | Black History Month Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Join the Waring Historical Library for the 2023 Black History 
 Month Lecture featuring Dr. Deirdre Cooper Owen’s presentation on Harriet 
 Tubman's community work through entrepreneurship\, abolitionism\, 
 herbalism\, and institution building.\n\nBuilding off the new emphasis on 
 Black women’s intellectual history\, Deirdre Cooper Owens probes Harriet 
 Tubman's intellectual offerings via her community work via 
 entrepreneurship\, abolitionism\, herbalism\, and institution building. As 
 a historian of medicine\, Cooper Owens has documented the importance of 
 Black women's healing practices to the development of American medicine. 
 Herbalism is one of the foundations of their healing arts (and Harriet 
 Tubman was skilled in this artform). In her presentation\, Dr. Cooper Owens 
 hopes to reveal Tubman as more than a courageous freedom fighter\; but 
 also\, as a fierce intellectual figure. Join us to gain a new understanding 
 of Harriet Tubman’s contributions to the black freedom struggle through 
 her ideas and healing practices as a compliment to her abolitionist 
 actions.\n\n\n\nDeirdre Cooper Owens is the Linda and Charles Wilson 
 Professor in the History of Medicine and Director of the Humanities in 
 Medicine program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln\, one of two Black 
 women in the nation who holds these positions. Dr. Cooper Owens also serves 
 as Director of the Program in African American History at the Library 
 Company of Philadelphia\, the country’s oldest cultural institution. She 
 is an Organization of American Historians’ (OAH) Distinguished Lecturer\, 
 a past American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Research Fellow 
 and has won several prestigious honors and awards for her scholarly and 
 advocacy work in history and reproductive and birthing justice. Most 
 recently\, the University of Virginia’s School of Nursing selected Dr. 
 Cooper Owens as the 2022 Agnes Dillon Randolph Award Winner for her 
 scholarship on the history of Black nurses and healers\, their highest 
 honor. A popular public speaker and writer\, Dr. Cooper Owens has published 
 articles\, essays\, book chapters\, and op-eds on issues that concern 
 African American historical experiences and reproductive justice. Her first 
 book\, Medical Bondage: Race\, Gender and the Origins of American 
 Gynecology won a Darlene Clark Hine Book Award from the Organization of 
 American Historians as the best book written in African American women’s 
 and gender history. It has recently been translated into Korean and will be 
 translated into Brazilian Portuguese by Winter 2022. She is currently 
 working on a popular biography of Harriet Tubman’s through the lens of 
 disability and a monograph about the history of race\, medical discovery\, 
 and the C-section.\n\n\n\n \n\nThe lecture will take place Monday\,
