DESCRIPTION:Nancy Scheper-Hughes: \n  "The Ghosts of Montes de Oca: Naked Life, Torture 
 and the Medically Disappeared"\nBetween 1976 and 1991, 1400 patients \n  at 
 Montes de Oca, Argentina's national mental asylum for the profoundly 
 "mentally \n  deficient," disappeared. Another 1350 died, many 
 inexplicably. Cecilia \n  Giubileo, a young psychiatrist who planned to 
 expose the institutional abuses \n  related to the disappearances and 
 deaths, was among the disappeared. Nancy Scheper-Hughes \n  will discuss 
 the asylum's recent history and address the question of how medical \n  
 personnel entrusted with the care of the most vulnerable patients could 
 justify \n  a regime of malignant abuse in one of the most psychiatrically 
 sophisticated \n  countries in the world.\nNancy Scheper-Hughes is 
 Professor \n  of Anthropology at UC Berkeley. She is best known for her 
 award-winning books \n  Saints, Scholars and Schizophrenics: Mental Illness 
 in Rural Ireland \n  and Death without Weeping: The Violence of Everyday 
 Life in Brazil. She \n  was given the Berkeley William Sloane Coffin Jr. 
 Award for moral leadership \n  on April 4, 2007.\nWednesday, April 11, 4:00
