Film Screening: Miss Evers’ Boys
Join the students of PUBHLTHSOC 3210 - History of Public Health to watch Miss Evers’ Boys (1997), a film chronicling the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment.
If you plan to conduct public health research involving human participants, it is essential to grapple with the field's history, including its ethical failures. Join us for a screening of Miss Evers' Boys, a powerful dramatization of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study and its lasting impact on public trust in public health and medical research. Although these events occurred decades ago, their legacy continues to shape public perceptions of research today. This film offers an opportunity to reflect on the responsibilities researchers have to earn and maintain the trust of the communities they serve.
This event is open to all current WashU students, faculty, and staff with valid ID.
There will be pizza!
