Project Overview

This research cluster is a cross-disciplinary effort that brings together scholars with shared interests in critical and interdisciplinary perspectives on health, illness, and medicine. In its third year, the project will focus activities on the theme of global health and invite three outside speakers to give public lectures and participate in classroom discussions and reading groups with faculty and graduate students. Audiences at each event are invited to attend receptions, a primary goal of which is to build community among scholars with shared interests at the University of Washington. The group also maintains a listserv for sharing notice of local events of interest.
