Utica, NY (03/10/2014) - On Wednesday, March 12, the History Brown Bag Lunch lecture features Trais Pearson from Cornell University and his lecture, “Medico-Legal Politics: Forensic Medicine and Sovereignty in Siam (Thailand) at the Turn of the Twentieth Century.”

The lecture will begin at 12:30 p.m. in the DuRoss Faculty Dining Room. It is free and open to the public.

Pearson looks at a case where a British subject living in Siam was able to get away with murder through the use of forensic evidence. The implications of this case were much larger, however, and included the role of forensic medicine in extraterritorial law and Siamese sovereignty.

The History Brown Bag Lunch lecture holds talks on the second Wednesday of each month at 12:30 p.m. For more information on the History Brown Bag Lunch lecture, contact David Wittner, professor of history, at dwittne@utica.edu.
