The Literature, Medicine, and Culture Colloquium (LMCC) at UNC is excited for our next meeting! We will meet on Wednesday, October 29 at 5:30pm eastern time.
Although we normally meet in UNC’s HHIVE Lab, also known as Gaskin Library or Greenlaw 524, this October meeting will take place strictly over Zoom using our usual Zoom link: https://unc.zoom.us/j/99228197675. If you have trouble with the Zoom link, please email either of the Co-Directors.
For our October meeting, we’ll be discussing Rehabilitating Bodies: Health, History, and the American Civil War by Lisa A. Long (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2004). Specifically, we’d like everyone to read the following:
- Introduction: “Year That Trembled and Reel’d beneath Me” (pp. 1-28)
- Suggested optional reading: Any additional chapter of your choice
All members of the UNC community can access the full text of Long’s monograph online through the UNC Libraries. We’ve also posted .pdfs of these materials onto the “Readings” page of the LMCC website, including the book’s front matter, table of contents (TOC), and end notes. If you run into trouble getting access to the text (or any additional chapters from the monograph), please contact one of the Co-Directors. (See our email addresses on the Home page of this site).
If you have any questions, please contact us directly. Please also feel free to share this info with other graduate or professional students who might be interested! We look forward to meeting with you all for an exciting discussion of this work!
Again, this meeting will take place strictly over Zoom. (We do, however, plan to return to our usual location in the HHIVE Lab for our November meeting.)
