Charles E. Rosenberg, who will be offering an extended commentary on papers from both history sessions, is this year's recipient of the Viseltear Award, which honors his outstanding career of contributions to the history of public health and medicine. Professor Rosenberg is Professor of the History of Science and Ernest E. Monrad Professor in the Social Sciences at Harvard University, where he began teaching in 2000. His works remain cannons, not only for historians of public health and medicine, but for US social historians as well. These works include The Cholera Years, the United States in 1832, 1849, and 1866; The Trial of the Assassin Guiteau: Psychiatry and Law in the Gilded Age; No Other Gods: On Science and American Social Thought; and The Care of Strangers: The Rise of America's Hospital System. Before coming to Harvard, Professor Rosenberg was Janice and Julian Bers Professor of the History and Sociology of Science at the University of Pennsylvania, where he advised more than forty doctoral students and served as chair of both the departments of History and the History and Sociology of Science.
