DESCRIPTION:Thanks to the long-running TV show Casualty and the more rece
 nt Casualty 1900s\, the British viewing public is familiar with the very
  different look and feel of hospital casualty departments at the beginni
 ng and end of the twentieth century. This talk explores how and why the 
 casualty department was transformed over the course of the twentieth cen
 tury\, from being something of a under-sourced backwater space in the ho
 spital to a high-tech space\, with its own speciality doctors and nurses
 \, and acting as a crucial gateway to the rest of the hospital.\n\nGraha
 m Mooney is an Associate Professor in the Department of the History of M
 edicine at Johns Hopkins University\, Baltimore\, USA\, where he holds a
  joint appointment in the Bloomberg School of Public Health. Born in Man
 chester\, he completed his BA and PhD in Geography at the University of 
 Liverpool. In the UK he held research and lectureship positions in geogr
 aphy\, history and public health before moving to Johns Hopkins in 2003.
  His first book\, Intrusive Interventions: Public Health\, Domestic Spac
 e and Infectious Disease Surveillance in England\, 1840-1914 is about th
 e control of epidemic diseases through the practices of disease reportin
 g\, isolation\, disinfection and contact tracing. He is currently writin
 g two books. Harm City? The Fracturing of Public Health in Neoliberal Am
 erica is based on a course he teaches at Johns Hopkins about the history
  of public health in Baltimore. His other book project\, Healing Spaces:
  Historical Geographies of Healing Practice\, considers how healers of a
 ll kinds have produced and adapted different spaces to facilitate\, prom
 ote\, and authorize particular forms of healing. During his time at the 
 JRRI\, he will be using the collections of the Manchester Medical Collec
 tion to research the development of emergency services in Great Britain 
 in the twentieth century.\n\nFree. Book your place via Eventbrite: http:
