Arabic Illness Narrative Presentation

Hello everyone. It's been great meeting all of you. I learnt a great deal from the presentations and was really glad to meet more people working in the Medical/Health Humanities. A couple of people asked me to send my presentation, so I'm uploading the PDF here, and will include the PPP in a different link as it doesn't seem I could upload both in one go. Thank you for a great couple of days. Faten

Comment by Esther L. Jones on CHCI Medical Humanities Institute (University College London) | 12 Jul 2016

Race in/and the Medical Humanities

The 2016 summer institute offered quite a bit of food for thought as pertains to my own thinking about race in/and the medical humanities. The graduate student panel, in particular, was extremely interesting and I can't help but to be interested in the ways medical humanities scholars are dealing explicitly with race/ethnicity in their work. I admit that my conception of race operates from a decidedly U.S.-based sense of racial formation and identity politics; but I'm interested in engaging with others from different cultural contexts about processes of racialization and ethnification in their own countries and cultural contexts and how that plays out in medical narratives and medical humanities generally. I'd like to start a conversation here, for those similarly interested. Is race in/and the medical humanities a peculiarly U.S. American concern, or do these concerns, however they may be articulated, play out in other nations and cultures; and if so, how? Who is doing work in this area?
