The Center for RECAAL presents Black Death & The U.S. Medical Examiners and Coroners’ System - Lecture by Dr. Terence Keel. This lecture will focus on Dr. Keel's project that investigates the history and current practices of the United States medical examiner/coroner system. The work reveals how the entanglement of law enforcement, forensic pathology, and ethical nihilism produce forms of state violence and biomedical racism that target BIPOC communities who are killed while in police custody in the streets and in carceral institutions throughout the United States.
