In support of his book, The Province of Affliction: Illness and the Making of Early New England (Chicago, 2020), Ben has given virtual public talks locally at Grass Roots Books and the Academy for Lifelong Learning and at archives that were central to his research, including the Massachusetts Historical Society (Boston, MA) and American Antiquarian Society (Worcester, MA). The latter event will be re-broadcast on C-SPAN later this spring.
