Global Health, Writing and Humanities: A conversation with Kelley Swain, artist-in-residence for the Health Humanities Lab at Duke University

Thursday, November 17 | 12-1pm | Perkins 218 | Light lunch served at 11:45. Please RSVP to writingprogram@duke.edu

Medical education in the US has increasingly found the humanities relevant to training more effective and empathetic doctors.  Narrative medicine and creative writing expand physicians’ writing skills and invite them to explore the humanity in their practice. Is there a similar value for introducing the humanities to Global Health?  Join us for a conversation with Kelley Swain, award-winning writer/poet and contributing writer to the Lancet, as she talks about her work at the crossroads of poetry and science.
