Heyman Center for the Humanities, Second Floor Common Room Speaker: Benjamin Breen, Assistant Professor in the Department of History, University of California Santa Cruz Respondent: Joel Klein, Haas Fellow, Chemical Heritage Foundation This event is part of the series, Explorations in the Medical Humanities. About the series: This lecture series will explore the enigma of how what we write relates back to the experience of bodies in different stages of health and disease. Our speakers will explore how the medical humanities build on and revise earlier notions of the "medical arts." At stake are the problems of representation and the interpretation of cultural products from the past and present through medical models. Sponsored by The Society of Fellows in the Humanities, the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society, and the Center for Science and Society.
