Hearing Happiness: A History of Deafness Cures & their Cultural Impact
Join us for a deep dive into the cultural impact of historical remedies for deafness during the Progressive Era. Special guest and historian Jaipreet Virdi will explore the remedies utilized by deaf individuals who sought to regain their sense of hearing and the profound societal pressures that stigmatized deafness in the pursuit of normalcy.
Jaipreet Virdi is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of
Delaware whose research focuses on the ways medicine and technology impact the lived
experiences of disabled people.
