July 2016
At the recent American Association for the History of Medicine annual meeting in Minneapolis, History of Science department graduate student Travis Weisse received an Honorable Mention in the Richard H. Shryock Medal Essay Contest for his paper titled “‘A Farewell to Chitterlings’: Alvenia Fulton, Natural Health Foods, and the Civil Rights Movement.”
Another course of good news comes in the form of an accepted book chapter tentatively titled “‘Soil Food’: Dr. Alvenia Fulton, Civil Rights, and the Rise of Black Vegetarianism,” accepted into the edited volume, The Vegetarian’s Dilemma: Re-Thinking Food Choice Throughout Time, ed. Adam Shprintzen, University of Arkansas Press, anticipated to come out in 2017.
Well done Travis!
