Book Talk: Pagan Kennedy on the Secret History of the Rape Kit

The Knight Science Journalism Program at MIT is excited to welcome back former fellow Pagan Kennedy, KSJ ’11, for a talk about her new book The Secret History of the Rape Kit.

In The Secret History of the Rape Kit Pagan tells the story of the troubled, heroic woman who kicked off a feminist revolution in forensics, and then vanished into obscurity.
Pagan will speak about her investigation into the 1970s development of the rape kits in Chicago — and the massive cultural impact of this technology.
