Research Interests: Critical Theory, Writing Practices, Gender
Profile from 2017 Rhetoric of Health and Medicine Symposium
Description of Work
I have written two projects focusing on gender and medical writing—Our of the Dead House, an account of the writing practices of nineteenth century women physicians, and Our Bodies Ourselves and the Work of Writing, an analysis of the writing practices of the Boston Women’s Health Book Collective. I am currently working on a The Anatomy of Melancholy and Early Modern Practices of Knowledge, a book that will place The Anatomy in the context of early modern learning at the cusp of the emergence of new sciences, with special emphasis on medicine.
