From the archives: Eugenics at Puget Sound

‘From the Archives: Eugenics at Puget Sound’ is based on the research of Puget Sound African American Studies, Biology, and Bioethics student Grace Eberhardt ’20, a project that was advised by Professor Dexter Gordon (African American Studies), Hajung Lee (Bioethics), Kristin Johnson (Science, Technology and Society), and Peter Wimberger (Biology). Help with navigating primary sources was also provided by Professor Jairo Hoyos Galvis (Hispanic Studies and Latina/o Studies), Emily Wright ’22, Anneke Taylor ’22, Kate Gladhart-Hayes ’20, and Annelise Phelps ’20. With special thanks to Katya Ramich ’21, Archivist and Special Collections Librarian Adriana Flores, and Director of the Collins Memorial Library, Jane Carlin. Ellie Barber ’12 designed the artwork above, and Kyle Muir ’20 helped with website design. Both Grace’s historical research and her call for action were deeply influenced by her training in African American Studies under the additional mentorship of Professor Grace Livingston, Professor LaToya Brackett, and Professor Renee Simms.
