2025 - 2026 Presenters

February 8 & 15

"Whose Body? Whose Future?" with Jerry Hamilton, Retired College Professor from Wittenberg University

2025 - 2026 Schedule Details

These two Sunday Forum sessions offer a critical confrontation with the Eugenics Movement—a historical apparatus of racism, ableism, and white supremacy that sought to dictate who could reproduce and who could not. We will analyze the movement's rise, its political power, and its central role in enacting compulsory sterilization laws and restrictive immigration policies designed to enforce a dangerous and unscientific ideal of "Racial Purity" that continues to surface in debates to this day.   

Jerry has taught at the elementary, junior high, and college levels, and has worked as an elementary school counselor. During his tenure at Wittenberg in the Department of Education, Jerry served as department chair, Faculty Personnel Board chair and Head of the Faculty Development Organization. In his non-teaching time, he was a volunteer football statistician and assistant women's basketball coach and volunteered with Habitat for Humanity. He has traveled six times with students to Mississippi to help build houses as part of the Habitat Collegiate Challenge.
