Join Dr. Wendy Shilton for a talk titled: "Could 'Infusing' University Writing with Narrative Medicine Practices Promote Public Health?" on Tuesday, February 11 at 7:00 pm the Faculty Lounge, SDU Main Building. This talk explores the burgeoning multi-disciplinary field of Narrative Medicine (NM) and asks whether it could be effectively applied in university writing courses to strengthen public health benefits. Among the topics examined are the origins of NM within the medical humanities; what is meant by “narrative” in NM; how NM connects the Arts, Humanities, and Sciences; and, ultimately, what NM has to do with undergraduate critical literacy practices that potentially could be integrated across the curriculum to promote greater quality and equality in health and healthcare for all.
