Free event. Open to the general public.

Please join the University Committee on Disability Access and Inclusion (CDAI) for an evening with Kacie Lucchini Butcher, Director of the Public History Project, and Nicole C. Nelson, Associate Professor of Medical History and Bioethics, to reckon with UW-Madison’s history of eugenics.

Charles Van Hise was the UW-Madison President from 1903-1918 and co-creator of the Wisconsin Idea. Many are unaware he was a eugenicist. Eugenics has many forms; broadly to sterilize, disenfranchise, and/or remove from society people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, people with disabilities, individuals incarcerated or detained, and those experiencing poverty. Eugenics policy is racist, ableist, and has historically led to genocide. We must remain vigilant against the deceptive, intimidating, and exclusionary practices of eugenics.

Please email cdai@secfac.wisc.edu with any questions or to request an accommodation for the event. CART services will be provided.

An RSVP is not required to attend the event.
