We will not be resuming normal activities anytime soon. Once again, UNC instructors are trying to balance their own safety and mental health with concerns about student well-being and learning.

My department is hiring, and I'd love to have more health humanities and disability studies colleagues! The 3-3 course load mostly involves first-year writing and could include a writing in health and medicine course for someone with those interests.

In the SP22 issue of Literature & Medicine a comic was published about a space alien that explored the challenges of navigating healthcare & legal systems for immigrants & Asian Americans. The author of this comic? UNC ECL’s very own alumna Cathy Choi! https://t.co/fhtng86ZEL

@npcrowe @SariAltschuler Oh, and Damon Tweedy’s Black Man in a White Coat is a perennial student favorite and opens lots of opportunities to talk about medical training, racism, and the politics of healthcare in NC.

[Kym Weed @KymWeed]

@npcrowe I can second @SariAltschuler’s recommendations.
