Health and the Human Conference

“Ours is an age which consciously pursues health, and yet only believes in the reality of sickness.”
– Susan Sontag

The Health and the Human conference aims to explore the human side of health, illness and healthcare by bringing together undergraduates and other early-career researchers to collaborate and share their research. By highlighting scholarship in the intersection of health and humanities, we hope to foster an interdisciplinary community where students from UNC, Duke, NC State, NCCU and other nearby institutions can share their work, exchange ideas, and learn from one another.
