Invitation to Medical Humanities and Social Medicine Reading Group

 CPC members have received an invitation from Jonathon Sadowsky, History Department, and Eileen Anderson-Fye, Anthropology Department, Case Western Reserve University to participate in a reading group in medical humanities and social medicine. The plan is to create a monthly forum for discussion of shared interests, using article-length pieces to launch the discussion. The first meeting is scheduled for Friday, October 25, from 3:30-5:00, in the Zverina Room in the Allen Library.  There will be some refreshments.  We also hope to build on this group for other programmatic initiatives at the university.Virginia Woolf’s "On Being Ill," a classic text, has been chosen for the first meeting.
