For nearly two centuries\, it has been treated as a dumping ground for society’s most marginalized—the unhoused\, recent immigrants\, and people diagnosed with mental illnesses. Even today\, its two psychiatric hospitals\, homeless shelters\, and residential substance-use treatment program house more than one thousand people\, but these institutions are fenced off from the athletic fields and green space of the adjoining Randall’s Island Park.  \nPhilip T. Yanos—a clinical psychologist who grew up on Ward’s Island—will explore the history of the island alongside the history of urban mental health systems in the United States. Drawing on archival documents and interviews with current residents and staff while weaving in recollections of his own childhood\, he will trace how the island became a place of exile and brings to life the failings of the approach to mental illness that it represents and propose how it can be transformed into a place of inclusion.
