Using a wide-range of multimedia and disciplinary approaches including the anthropocene, speculative fiction, science fiction, afrofuturism, and technology, students delved into prospective world scenarios and dystopian futures, and were charged with developing artifacts from that future.<\/p>\n<p>One stop for the scholars was the Henry R. Winkler Center for the History of the Health Professions.\u00a0 There, curator, Gino Pasi, gave a workshop for the students which included an introduction to archives, curatorship and public history, and a brief overview of what it is the Winkler Center actually does. Students then were introduced to health science-related artifacts from the past.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_35771\" style=\"width: 584px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35771\" class=\"wp-image-35771\" src=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/liblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pice-850x478.jpg\" alt=\"Artifact from the Future: Summer 2018 UC Scholars Program\" width=\"574\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/liblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pice-850x478.jpg 850w, https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/liblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pice-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 574px) 100vw, 574px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-35771\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Student examines a kymograph (an early blood pressure montoring device) at the Winkler Center<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_35773\" style=\"width: 582px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35773\" class=\" wp-image-35773\" src=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/liblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/picf-850x478.jpg\" alt=\"Artifact from the Future: Summer 2018 UC Scholars Program\" width=\"572\" height=\"322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/liblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/picf-850x478.jpg 850w, https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/liblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/picf-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 572px) 100vw, 572px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-35773\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students are introduced to artifacts at the Winkler Center<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After that, four teams of scholars were created and each team received an artifact to examine, describe, and then use in a story, play, poem, or some other written work to be presented at the end of the workshop.\u00a0 The Winkler Center objects given to the students included the \u201ciron lung,\u201d an electro-convulsive therapy unit, a baby incubator from the 1950s, and a \u201cquackery\u201d cure-all from the 1930s called the Electraply.
