SUMMARY:Cambridge Talks: Broken Bones in Medieval Cambridge
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Cambridge Talks\, a series of events raising funds for the Museum of Cambridge’s fundraising appeal #YourMuseumNeedsYou. \nDuring the High and Late medieval periods\, survival often depended upon an individual’s ability to work. A severe injury could put the future of an entire family in jeopardy. This talk will explore the types of injuries experienced by the inhabitants of medieval Cambridge\, as well as the long-term impact of such injuries. \nThis research was undertaken as part of the ‘After the Plague: Heath and History of Medieval Cambridge’ project that was generously funded by the Wellcome Trust. \nDr Jenna Dittmar is a Research Fellow at the University of Aberdeen and an Affiliated Scholar at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research at the University of Cambridge. As a specialist in human osteology and paleopathology\, Jenna utilises a multidisciplinary approach to questions about health\, diseases and medical intervention in past populations. \nPlease note\, this online talk will include discussion of and images of human remains. \n  \nAll proceeds from this event will go towards the Museum of Cambridge’s fundraising appeal #YourMuseumNeedsYou\, which aims to help us overcome the huge financial blow dealt by the Covid-19 pandemic.    \nWe want to say a huge thank you to all our supporters who have helped us over the last few weeks and months. So\, we have made this event ‘donate what you like’ – you can choose how much to donate in exchange for your ticket.  \nPlease support us to survive the next few months by buying a ticket to this event\, and/or donating directly to our fundraising appeal: bit.ly/MOCDonate \n  \nHow to attend this talk: \nThis talk will be held on Zoom.
