In this program, Criminologist Joseph D. Lohman charts the growth and increasing complexity of the crime problem which has accompanied the development of an urban, industrial culture in the U.S. He shows a corresponding inadequacy in the control and treatment of crime and criminals. An interviewed inmate points out these inadequacies and the need for individual treatment, which is pointed out by Harrison and Lohman, also. Harrison notes that differences in crimes and criminals indicate needs for individual treatment.

The prostate is the source of physical suffering and anxiety – anxiety about cancer and death, of course, but also erections and urination. It is intimately intertwined with what it means to be a man. Drawing on historical and modern sources, interviews with doctors and patients, medical texts, and cultural images of the prostate, Dr. Johnson's talk examines the history of prostate treatments, how it is treated today, what patients are met by when they seek care, and what medical technologies (including the PSA test) do to men worried about their prostate health. Her research stems from an interdisciplinary, medical humanities project conducted at Linköping University, Sweden.

Lecture delivered by Chris Flook (Public Historian; Senior Lecturer of Media, Ball State University) on September 22, 2023. In fall of 1902, Indianapolis police detectives uncovered a massive graverobbing ring. That summer, ghoulish body snatchers had plundered Marion County cemeteries for fresh corpses and sold them to medical colleges as cadavers. This presentation, based on Flook’s book, "Indianapolis Graverobbing: A Syndicate of Death," explores this history, the state’s anatomy laws at the time, and the trials of those involved.
