Jessica Borsellino will share a draft chapter of her dissertation: “Mothers, Missionaries, and Matrons: Women’s Death Work and Kiowa Community Health, 1892-1922.”
Statement: "I am a PhD Candidate studying health and healing in the modern world. My dissertation, "Medicine for Generations: Healing Work in Kiowa Communities, 1875-1934," argues that Kiowas, members of a Great Plains tribal nation, used both Indigenous and Western healing practices to sustain and reconstitute their communities through this era of settler occupation."
