The Anthropology of Castration with Dr. Kathryn Reusch - Ruins 84

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Kathryn Reusch, who is a Conservation Technician in the Museum Conservation Department at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. We talk about her experiences in school in the UK, her graduate research, and then we take a deep dive into the painful topic of castration (and yes we mean human castration). Connor and Carlton pepper Dr. Reusch with questions about castration and learn more than they ever needed to know. Literature Recommendations 1999 Eunuchs and Castrati: A Cultural History by Piotr O.
