Considering Normality
This talk will take up the topic of normality that was suggested by our MHB students for exploration in our fall Flash(y) Bioethics session which offered a series of 5-minute disciplinary dives into keywords and issues in medical humanities and bioethics. When illness knocked normality off the original roster, I promised that this crucial, complex, and contentious concept would get the full Monty treatment later in the year. So, drawing on anthropological fieldwork and theory -- and inspired by our students suggestions this talk will consider the role of normality in medicine, bioethics, and society more broadly.
