The Literature, Medicine, and Culture Colloquium (LMCC) at UNC is excited for our next meeting! We will meet on Wednesday, November 19 at 5:30pm eastern time in UNC’s HHIVE Lab, also known as Gaskin Library or Greenlaw 524.
If you can’t attend in person, you can always attend via 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. (See our email addresses on the “Home” page of the LMCC website.)
For our November meeting, we’ll be discussing Raw Material: Producing Pathology in Victorian Culture by Erin O’Connor (Duke UP, 2000). Specifically, we’d like everyone to read the following:
- Chapter 3: “Fractions of Men: Engendering Amputation” (pp. 102-147)
- Suggested optional reading: “Introduction” (pp. 1-20)
All members of the UNC community can access the full text of O’Connor’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!
This will be our final meeting of the fall 2025 semester! Over the break, look out for updates regarding our spring 2026 meetings, to be announced soon!
