Dr. Cheli Reutter, University of Cincinnati
Gives the talk "Medical humanities at UC"
Date of the talk: November 17, 2010
ABSTRACT: In this talk I will briefly trace the history of the medical humanities (a relatively young but classically derived discipline) as context for the examination of various medical humanities-related endeavors in which UC faculty and students have participated in the last few years. I will also relate the visions of various members of the faculty for future medical humanities developments. I will illustrate with a few examples how literature and film can work for different constituencies seeking to benefit from a medical humanities perspective. Examples discussed in the talk will include Stephen Crane's The Monster, Audre Lorde's Cancer Journals and Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper.
