The conversation centers on the Great Irish Famine of the 1840s and its transatlantic aftermath, with a particular focus on how the famine became the world's first large-scale international relief campaign — and how the famine influx reshaped New York's public health institutions. Shrout traces donations from Indian Territory and the enslaved South, and the rise of Bellevue's hospitals, poorhouses, and jails.

With Dr. Anelise Hanson Shrout, an Associate Professor of Digital and Computational Studies and History at Bates College, cross-appointed in American Studies.

Historian Dr. Anelise Shrout traces how the Great Irish Famine became one of the nineteenth century's first transnational humanitarian campaigns — drawing aid from the Cherokee, the Choctaw, and enslaved people in the American South, while Irish arrivals reshaped New York's hospitals, poorhouses, and jails.

"He had said, 'Will you give up one meal a day to aid the starving Irish?' … The enslaved people go away and they talk, and they come back and they say, 'We're not going to do that. We will, however, give you fifty dollars.'" — Dr. Anelise Shrout
