Townsend Martin Professor of History and Public Affairs at Princeton University
"Pain: A Political History"
January 31, 2017 | 7:00 pm | Wright Auditorium
Wailoo's lecture will touch on the battle over whose pain is real and who deserves relief, which has created stark ideological divisions at the bedside, in politics, and in the courts.
Wailoo is Townsend Martin Professor of History and Public Affairs at Princeton University where he teaches in the Department of History and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He is the former Vice Dean of the Woodrow Wilson School. He is an award-winning author on drugs and drug policy; race, science and health; history of medicine; and health policy and medical affairs in the U.S. Currently, he is working on two book-length projects, both intersecting with history and public policy: a study of the menthol cigarette and a history of addiction.
