RX: Conversations About Writing & Medicine, Featuring Emily C. Bloom, Carolyn Sufrin, and Jeremy Greene

Description

RX: Conversations About Writing & Medicine, hosted by the University Writing Program and Johns Hopkins' Common Question, brings together invited speakers whose work bridges the sciences and the humanities to explore how storytelling, research, and clinical experience shape our understanding of health and healing. Through dialogue between writers, physicians, scholars, and artists, this series examines the intersections of narrative, ethics, and evidence, inviting reflection on how language and imagination inform the practice of medicine.

This year's conversation will be between award-winning memoirist Emily C. Bloom, a Literature faculty member at Sarah Lawrence College, and Carolyn Sufrin, a medical anthropologist and an obstetrician-gynecologist specializing in family planning at Johns Hopkins. The evening will be moderated once again by Jeremy Greene, a professor of medicine and the history of medicine and director of the Department of the History of Medicine and the Center for Medical Humanities and Social Medicine at Johns Hopkins.

The event begins at 5:30 p.m. with a pre-reception, followed by the discussion at 6 p.m.
