From Pulitzer to Pritzker

To Prof. David Hackett Fischer (HIST), “history is not only about the past: it’s about memories of the past, it’s about experiences of the present, and it’s about anticipation of the future,” Fischer said in an interview with the Justice. In describing his childhood, Fischer recalls growing up in the midst of great historical events like the Great Depression, World War II and the Cold War. Yet to Fischer — and no doubt to many others — these events were also family events. “War was very much a part of my own experience,” Fischer said.

Using research to change disability policy
(10/13/15 3:46am)

Although they have had the legal right to reproduce since the 1970’s, there is still very little information known about mothers living with IDD or their children in the United States. This information is from a nationwide study conducted by researchers at Brandeis University and University of Massachusetts Medical School this fall.
