Medical anthropologist to deliver annual Society for Humanities lecture

This year’s Society for the Humanities Invitational Lecture will feature medical anthropologist Stacey Langwick, associate professor of anthropology in the College of Arts & Sciences, speaking on "Healing in a Toxic World: Reimagining the Times and Spaces of the Therapeutic." 

The lecture, scheduled for 5-6:30 p.m. Nov. 11 in the Guerlac Room at the A.D. White House, is free and open to the public.

“Working at the intersection of medicine, therapy, economy and questions of knowledge sovereignty, Stacey’s work has reached across many scholarly domains," said Durba Ghosh, professor of history and Taylor Family Director of the Society for the Humanities (A&S), adding that Langwick took courses in intellectual property law and plant biology in order to research her new book.
