Swimming in the Dark: Embodiment and Apprehension

by Catherine Belling, PhD
Assistant Professor
Medical Humanities & Bioethics

What does it mean that we have limited perceptual and cognitive access to what is most intimate to us, the inside of our bodies? This lecture considers the limitations of the visual and the advantages of narrative in imagining and representing the experience of anxious embodiment.

The Medical Humanities & Bioethics Lectures run weekly on Thursdays at noon, addressing diverse topics within bioethics and the medical humanities. Speakers are MH&B faculty or special guests we've invited to present. All lectures run from noon to 12:45pm in the Searle Seminar Room in the Lurie building. All are welcome. Please feel free to bring a lunch.
