# Critical Health Humanities ## expand\_more ![medical drawings](/sites/g/files/omnuum4936/files/styles/hwp_1_1__960x960_scale/public/mahindra/files/criticalhealth.jpg?itok=eK5rc-Ys) Provides a space for vibrant interdisciplinary conversation about health-related topics from a humanities perspective. We imagine both health and the humanities broadly and will host conversations from disciplines that include literature, history, art history, rhetoric, religion, philosophy, sociology, and anthropology. Our seminar will focus especially on new critical directions for the health humanities, including work that intersects with public health, global health, critical race studies, gender and sexuality studies, environmental humanities, digital humanities, and disability studies. ## Past Events [### Seminar with Emily Harrison ](/event/seminar-emily-harrison?occ_id=0)Apr 30, 2026 | 6:00PM EDT [### After Harlem Hospital: Modern Medicine and African American Art ](/event/after-harlem-hospital-modern-medicine-and-african-american-art?occ_id=0)Mar 31, 2026 | 6:00PM EDT [### Race and Dermatology ](/event/race-and-dermatology?occ_id=0)Feb 26, 2026 | 6:00PM EST [ More past events arrow\_circle\_right ](/calendar/past_events?f%5B0%5D=event_hwp_c_seminars%3A170370) ## Chairs [### Sari Altschuler ](/people/sari-altschuler) [s.altschuler@northeastern.edu ]() ![Sari Altschuler](/sites/g/files/omnuum4936/files/styles/hwp_4_5__690x865/public/mahindra/files/sari_altschuler_1.jpg?itok=5HNbu6LQ) [### Amy Boesky ](/people/amy-boesky) ![Amy Boesky](/sites/g/files/omnuum4936/files/styles/hwp_4_5__690x865/public/mahindra/files/amy_boesky.jpg?itok=XHpvbH--) [### David Jones ](/people/david-jones) ![David Jones](/sites/g/files/omnuum4936/files/styles/hwp_4_5__690x865/public/mahindra/files/david_jones_1.jpg?itok=GksarJ72) See also:- [ Seminars ](/page-type/seminars)
