Author Presentation: Eugenics in Vermont

Past event
Jan 25, 2024, 7 to 8:30 PM

Please join our Bristol Social Justice Discussion group this month: Thursday January 25 at 7:00pm.

Author Mercedes de Guardiola will be discussing her new book "Vermont for the Vermonters": A History of Eugenics in the Green Mountain State." De Guardiola examines how the state's eugenics movement emerged out of the public policies of the nineteenth century and led to state-sanctioned programs of institutionalization, sterilization, family separation, and education aimed at the most vulnerable Vermonters. Exploring the social and political legacy of the movement, de Guardiola brings new scholarship and context to one of Vermont's darkest chapters.
