Listen now
Description
Join us in our conversation with Jolien Gijbels, a Fulbright and Belgian American Educational Foundation (BAEF) visiting scholar in the Department of the History of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University. In this episode, primarily we discuss finding the patient’s voice in the archive, and how listening to the patient and other marginalized groups is vital to the history of medicine and to the medical humanities. We also talk medical consent, radical gynecological surgery and difficult births, and digital humanities methods such as text mining.
