We are pleased to announce an upcoming event as part of the Leverhulme-funded project ‘Fashionable Diseases: Medicine, Literature and Culture, 1660-1832,’ run by the Universities of Northumbria and Newcastle.
Disability and Fashionable Diseases in Literature and Culture
14 November, 2013
Northumbria University
How do the complicated and contested concepts and fields of disability and fashionable disease relate to each other, if at all? How are they represented within the spheres of literature and cultural representation generally? This workshop aims to begin an exploration of the subject with the help of two experts in the field of contemporary literature and disability studies.
Michael Davidson
