[Aull, Felice]

Dear Listserv members,

 

Since there has been a steady flow of new people joining this Listserv, it would be helpful I think if many Listserv members would introduce themselves with brief information about their work and interests. Preface your subject heading with the word "Intro" (so people can delete if they’re not interested).  I will start, for those of you who don't know me:

 

I started as a physiologist and turned to medical humanities about 20 years ago.  My interests are in issues of cultural/geographic displacement, disability studies, and other ambiguous borderland conditions.  I have been on the faculty at NYU School of Medicine since 1966 (!) and founded the collaborative Literature, Arts, and Medicine Database project in 1993. Also, I started writing poetry 7 years ago—a few have been published but I am learning to have a high tolerance for rejection.

 

Regards, Felice

intro: rich ratzan

am md with ba in classics gotten in stone age. particular interest in roman elegaic poets, esp catullus and propertius. have written about several aspects of medical humanities, from medical ethics to history of medicine to literature and medicine. i have a particular, enduring interest in physician-writers. unlike felice, i have not become acculturated to rejection slips to my poetic submissions. when not writing medical humanities and fiction and poetry, am winding down a 37 career in internal medicine and emergency medicine, which requires, as one wag put it, a knowledge of the first 15 minutes of every branch of medicine. (after 16 minutes i too dial 911)

[Claire Hooker]

Dear Listserv members

I would like to introduce myself as another member from 'Down Under'.
I coordinate the only program down here that grants postgraduate
degrees in medical humanities, through the centre for values, ethics
and law in medicine at the University of Sydney. I really enjoy the
breadth of medical humanities - I have an eclectic background in the
history of health and medicine, health policy and public health - but
my research tends to focus on how people - lay and professional -
understand and respond to different kinds of health risks. I feel very
priviledged to work in an area where humanism and a terribly old
fashioned form of scholarship - study for curiosity's sake - is
supported.

Dear Claire,

 

It was nice to hear from you.

Could you please let me know more about your degree

programmes in medical humanities? How are medical

humanities integrated with medical education?

I look forward to hear from you.

Best regards and wishes,

Subrata Chattopadhyay.
