While many are aware of the current advances in the medical field, the history of oppression that often accompanies them is frequently overlooked. Throughout history, countless individuals have endured persecution and mistreatment in the name of "research." In the 20th century the eugenics movement led to the forced sterilization and abortion of those deemed "unfit" for society. By acknowledging these past injustices, we not only honor the memories of their victims but also raise awareness about the potential for ongoing oppression in the present. Through these discussions, we aim to cultivate a community committed to combating injustice, aligning ourselves with Exeter's core values of knowledge and goodness. This CVP will facilitate the empowering of students with the knowledge necessary to promote positive change.
