Biomedical humanities:
21st-century American perspectives on literature and culture
4th Methodologies in American Studies Workshop
October 22-23, 2018
The 2018 MAS workshop focuses on biohumanities – a cutting-edge field of inquiry that attempts to reconcile the natural and medical sciences with the humanities. The integration of theories and concepts from ecology, biology, anthropology, medical sciences, and psychology, as well as political science and philosophy, to name only a few, offers innovative approaches to the study of non/human agency, citizenship, cultural and environmental change, and economic processes. Importantly, life sciences add to our understanding of the human being and open up a critical space for rethinking and reevaluating the established approaches to the study of American culture and its global impact.
Venue: Institute of English Studies, University of Warsaw
Format: 2-day workshop consisting of five 3-hour sessions,
a plenary lecture, and a summing-up session
Eligibility: The workshop is open to young scholars who are either working on their doctoral dissertations or have recently received a Ph.D., and who are affiliated with an institution of higher education in Central/Eastern Europe.
