Keywords in Critical Medical and Health Humanities<\/strong> Conference<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For one week in the spring of 2024 (March 4-8), the PHIL faculty organized and participated in a conference on campus in which they shared with the Colby community their engagement with medicine and health from a variety of humanistic perspectives. Events in the conference ranged from traditional research talks to class takeovers and creative actions. Each was inspired by a keyword related to the field critical medical and health humanities, understood through the lens of the Colby faculty’s own research and\/or teaching.\u00a0Click here<\/a> for a full schedule of events. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Slow Reading Group<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHIL faculty and members of the Colby community are invited to participate in reading groups to discuss texts authored by the PHIL’s affiliates or guest speakers, typically in advance of their engagement on campus. The “slowness” of the group speaks to a desire to read deeply and at a manageable pace, in contrast to the fast speed of many other work activities at and beyond the college.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
