Description
Hear Bob H. Reinhardt, Ph.D., speak on his new book, The End of a Global Pox: America and the Eradication of Smallpox in the Cold War Era. Unlike other works that have chronicled the fight against smallpox by offering a "biography" of the disease or employing a triumphalist narrative of a public health victory, The End of a Global Pox examines the eradication program as a complex exercise of American power. This event is free and open to all. Located on the WSU Vancouver campus in the Multimedia Classroom Building, Room 6.
