Public Programming and Events
Upcoming public workshops, programming, and events for the Division of Narrative Medicine
Narrative Acts / Community Action
Join us October 21st at 6pm EDT for our next Narrative Acts/Community Action event, where Narrative Medicine faculty Samantha Barrick and author-facilitator Antoinette Cooper examine what it means to practice care in a nation built on wounding. Diagnosing our collective toxicology and prescribing ceremony over clinical distance, they ask: what scaffolding does dignity require? What structures must we build to tend to each other?
November Narrative Medicine Rounds with Binnie Kirshenbaum
For our November rounds, we have the honor of hosting Binnie Kirshenbaum, the author of one story collection and eight novels, including Rabbits for Food (2019), a darkly comic depiction of a clinically depressed woman and her subsequent breakdown and, Counting Backwards (2025), which chronicles the lives of a middle-aged woman and her husband who is suffering from early-onset Lewy body dementia.
