A treat to chair, hear 3 excellent talks both fascinating in their own right & nicely linked across spacetime! Included MIT’s Sonia Pavel; like yesterday’s talks by Paige Bollen & Samuel Dubois, much we can apply @MIT as well, in learning across disciplinary specializations!

Starting from the question of what turn-of-the-twentieth century Egyptian wise women and their amulets can teach us, she'll use insights from her research on these women healers to foster novel methods of imagining the pasts, presents, and possible futures of humanities research.
