Medical historian, author Rosenberg to deliver lecture
By Kurt J. Mueller Charles E. Rosenberg, an eminent medical historian and author of many books on the study of the history of disease, will give the Thomas D. Fulbright Lecture for the Assembly Series at 11 a.m. Feb. 27 in Graham Chapel.
Rosenberg is credited with influencing a generation of scientific historians to examine not only a disease, but to study it within the social context of its time. Rosenberg's other works include The Trial of the Assassin Guiteau, Psychiatry and Law in the Gilded Age; No Other Gods: On Science and American Social Thought; and The Care of Strangers: The Rise of the American Hospital System. He also has co-authored or edited several other books and is working on a history of conceptions of disease during the past two centuries.
Rosenberg is a recipient of the William H. Welch Medal of the American Association for the History of Medicine and the George Sarton Medal for lifetime achievement from the History of Science Society.
Rosenberg has served on many boards and councils and has been awarded fellowships by the Woodrow Wilson, Guggenheim and Rockefeller foundations.
Before going to Harvard, Rosenberg served as chair of both the departments of History and History and Sociology of Science at the University of Pennsylvania. All Assembly Series lectures are free and open to the public. For more
