Flash(y) Bioethics: Five-minute Takes on Five Topics

Come join us for a fun introduction to our faculty and our field! Our MA students have come up with 5 topics for us explore in a pithy 5 minutes or less, providing a sampling of the diversity of issues engaged by the medical humanities and bioethics, and the breadth of the disciplinary approaches we bring to them. Here’s a preview of who will be there, and what they’ve been asked to take on:

Tod Chambers (Religious Studies/Philosophy): witchcraft/magic
Catherine Belling (Literature): definition of death
Megan Crowley-Matoka (Anthropology): existentialism in medicine
Katie Watson (Law): trauma studies
Sarah Rodriguez (History): refugee health
