SUMMARY:Seminar with Emily Harrison
DESCRIPTION:<h2><a href="/critical-health-humanities">CRITICAL HEALTH HUMANITIES</a></h2><h2>SPEAKER:&nbsp;<span>Emily Harrison, Wellesley College</span></h2><p><span>I am an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies at Wellesley College. I hold a PhD in the History of Science, an SM in Global Health and Population with a certificate in Maternal and Child Health, and a BA in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, all from Harvard University.
</span></p><p><span>
My research focuses on the role of evidence in health and medicine, drawing on historical and ethnographic resources and methods. My principle research project is a history of global health metrics, with other ongoing research projects exploring clinical epidemiology, ecology, and traumatic brain injury. I am deeply interested in the power and limits of storytelling, and in my scholarly work I emphasize the role of life stories as a method for bridging analysis and narrative. In addition to my research and writing I am deeply interested in pedagogy that bridges not only disciplines but the multiple sectors of local, national, and global societies.</span></p>
