Let's Talk About: Stigma
How do we talk about disease—and the stigma that often comes with it?
Join us at the History of Science Museum for an open conversation exploring how illness and stigma shape our experiences, perceptions, and histories. You’ll hear from five thought-provoking speakers who will guide small breakout discussions, each inspired by intriguing objects, some of which are from our collections.
Then we’ll come together as a group as our speakers share their reflections. You’ll have an opportunity to contribute to the conversation and ask questions. Will hearing each other’s stories shift how we think?
