They will share challenges such as maintaining awareness and integrating the multiplicity of roles necessitated by the traumatic situations and lessons they have learned and make recommendations for the specialized training required for the future.

Invisible Exposures: The Radium Girls and the Origins of Accountability for Radiation Protection (Webinar)

Tuesday, May 12, 2026, 12:30–2:00 PM EDT

This International Center for MultiGenerational Legacies of Trauma webinar will address the enduring legacy of the dial painters whose work with luminous materials exposed them to lethal doses of radiation and whose campaign for justice changed the course of labor history. In 1928, a lawsuit by five women against their former employer, the U.S. Radium Corporation, revealed the complete lack of safety standards in the industry and set a new benchmark for radiation safety in the workplace. Their story has inspired documentaries, films, books and plays. Radium Girls by D.W. Gregory is one of the most produced dramas in U.S. high schools and a frequent choice for university theatre departments, with nearly 3,000 productions to date. Join the author, with radiation protection expert David J. Allard, and a panel of theatre-makers to discuss the depiction of this story in fact and fiction and its ongoing impact on new generations.
