DESCRIPTION:NOBODY’S NORMAL: How Culture Created the Stigma of Mental Illne
 ss by\n\nRoy Richard Grinker\, PhD\, Professor\, Anthropology & Internatio
 nal Affairs\, George Washington University.\n\nZoom registration\n\nIn thi
 s presentation on his new book Nobody’s Normal (W.W. Norton)\, Roy R. Grin
 ker argues that stigma is a social process that can be explained through c
 ultural history\, a process that began the moment we defined mental illnes
 ses and disabilities. But because stigma is not grounded in nature we have
  the power to eradicate it. Though the legacies of shame and secrecy are s
 till with us today\, Grinker argues that we are at the cusp of ending the 
 marginalization of those who have for so long been deemed 'abnormal.' Grin
 ker infuses this lecture with the personal history of his family’s four ge
 nerations of involvement in psychiatry\, including his grandfather’s analy
 sis with Sigmund Freud\, his own daughter’s experience with autism\, and h
 is own research on neurodiversity.\n\nRoy Richard Grinker is Professor of 
 Anthropology and International Affairs at the George Washington University

 at-grandfather\, grandfather\, and father worked as psychoanalysts. He gra
 duated from Grinnell College in 1983 and received his Ph.D. in Social Anth
 ropology at Harvard University in 1989. He is the author of Nobody’s Norma
