Humanities Week 2005 (March 13-18) Program Information Thursday, April 21, 2005 We live in a moment within the arts, humanities and human sciences where the visual has taken a dominant role. Medicine is not exempt from this trend. Christina Gillis and Elizabeth Dungan examine the implications of looking -- through the lenses of different disciplines and technologies -- for the fields of medicine generally and, more particularly, for our understanding of death and dying. How do the arts and humanities help us explore the terrain of ambiguity, and enable us to bridge the gap between empathic and scientific looking? Christina Gillis holds a Ph.D. in English and was associate director of the Doreen B. Townsend Center for the Humanities at UC Berkeley from 1988 to 2004. At the Townsend Center, she produced some 29 public programs, seminars, and art exhibits dealing with medicine, social suffering, aging, death, and dying. With the assistance of Elizabeth Dungan, Gillis produced in 2001 an hour-long video of sections from "Seeing the Difference," an interdisciplinary two-day colloquium on death and dying she had organized at the Townsend Center in June 2000. She is now an independent consultant in humanities research issues, with special interests in humanities and medicine. Beth Dungan received her undergraduate training as a pre-med student at Stanford University in the Human Biology program. After working at the CDC and teaching at Stanford in the Human Biology department, she redirected her interests towards art history, and received a PhD in Art History from UC Berkeley. She now serves as a Fellow at the Center for Medicine, the Humanities and Law at UC Berkeley, and teaches courses about death and dying; pain and suffering; contemporary art; and medical imaging. She has curated a variety of exhibits, including "Exhibiting Signs of Age" and "Blind at the Museum" for the Berkeley Art Museum. For more information: bakernord@case.edu; 216-368-2414.
