S2 Ep6: Bonus Episode: Michael Seminara - on curating the historical collection at the Institute of the History of Medicine

For the Medical Record

It's summer, which means scholars are heading to the archives! Looking down the barrel at their own upcoming research trips, Richard and Mia talk with Michael Seminara, the curator for the historical collection at the Institute of the History of Medicine at Johns Hopkins. They chat with him about curating the collection, putting up exhibitions, and what he wished scholars knew about working with archivists.

For the Medical Record is a podcast from Johns Hopkins University's Center for Medical Humanities and Social Medicine, hosted by Research Associate Richard Del Rio and Postdoctoral Fellow Mia Levenson. New episodes are released biweekly.
In these episodes, we talk to people affiliated with the Center to discuss their research within the history of medicine and the medical humanities. We ask them why their work matters, and how history and the humanities can help us to better understand debates and practices within medicine and care today.
