Keynote "Reading with care (a bag of seeds) by Dr Stella Bolaki

This keynote is part of the &quot;Ethics, Accountability, and Responsibility for Researchers Working with Health Narratives&quot; workshop organised by Veronika Schuchter and kindly supported by a Glasgow Medical Humanities Foundation Award.Reading with care (a bag of seeds)Inspired by Ursula K. Le Guin’s essay ‘The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction’ this talk gathers some notes/seeds on reading with care. I assemble insights and suggestions from a wide range of medical humanities work that has helped me to think about questions of ethics and care and I share examples from my own research on representations of health and illness. Hopefully workshop participants can fill up this carrier bag of seeds further!Bio Note Stella Bolaki is Reader in American Literature and Medical Humanities and Co-Director of the Centre for Health and Medical Humanities at the University of Kent.
