Toxic Docs in the Classroom

For the next two weeks, we'll be highlighting uses of Toxic Docs in the classroom. Co-PI David Rosner has been teaching a class called "Poisoned Worlds" at the Mailman School of Health/Department of History (Columbia University) for years, using the database to give students direct practice with primary sources.

These will be listed below:

• Sophia Abrahamson, who writes about lead poisoning and trade associations, both then and now.
• Anastasia Hendricks, who writes on Monsanto and PR response.
• Amanda Armstrong, who writes on toxins and food.
• Hannah Geroge, who writes on the health of miners.
• James Wenzel, who writes on regulators and lead.
• Kairaluchi Oraedu, who writes on the Bureau of Mines and its leaded gasoline studies.
• Kate Tadeo, who writes on the Ethyl Corporation and leaded gasoline in the interwar years.
• Margaret Meyerson, who writes on food waste and American society.
• Machaela Parkin, who writes on asbestos and trade associates.
