Hello,
I would like to share the following message to this network as we believe it to be of interest of this group:
Dear,
I hope this message finds you well.
We are pleased to invite you to two insightful lectures as part of the KU Leuven Health Humanities Lecture Series, organized by the Leuven Centre for Health Humanities (LCH²).
In this lecture, Roger Luckhurst, Geoffrey Tillotson Chair of Nineteenth Century Studies at Birkbeck, University of London, will explore the evolution of the hospital corridor from a symbol of rationality and order to one of disorientation and disorder. This talk will track the rise and fall of this architectural model and its impact on institutional spaces.
Alyson Patsavas, Assistant Professor in the Department of Disability and Human Development at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), will discuss the role of the built environment in science fiction and fantasy films, and how these environments frame disabled bodies and minds as targets of intervention. This talk will consider the crucial work performed by counter examples or representations that reimagine the targets of scientific, medicinal, and technological advances.
Both lectures are free to attend, but registration is mandatory. For more information and to register, please visit our website.
We would greatly appreciate it if you could share this information with your network.
