Who is Todd?
Todd began his career as a painter, earning a BFA in studio from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His interests slowly moved to the history of medicine, public health, and anthropology, earning a PhD in anthropology from the Johns Hopkins University.
Todd began teaching in the Department of Social Studies of Medicine at McGill University in 2020, after previous appointments at New York University–Shanghai (2015-2020) and Wayne State University in Detroit (2009-2015). He is currently Professor and Marjorie Bronfman Chair in Social Studies of Medicine at McGill.
In addition to his current book, Gone Gone (2025), Todd is the
author and co-author of several other books, including All That Was Not Her (2022), which follows the life and death of a woman in Baltimore spanning twenty years, and The Human Body in the Age Catastrophe (2018, written with Stefanos Geroulanos), on the history of integration and disintegration in the study of human physiology at the beginning of the twentieth century.
Todd's current work is an ethnography of hate related violence and legal psychiatry told through the murder of a gay man over thirty years ago.
