“Spiritual Madness: Race, Psychiatry, and African American Religions.”
Monday, February 21, 2022
4:30PM to 8:00PM
Lutnick 200Judith Weisenfeld is the Agate Brown and George L. Collord Professor of Religion at Princeton University. This talk explores late nineteenth and early twentieth-century psychiatric theories about race, religion, and the “normal mind” and shows how the emerging specialty of psychiatry drew on works from history of religions to make racialized claims about African Americans’ “traits of character, habit, and behavior.” This history of the intersections of psychiatry and African American religions sheds light on how ideas about race, religion, and mental normalcy shaped African American experience in courts and mental hospitals and on the role the racialization of religion played more broadly in the history of medicine, legal history, and the history of disability.
