Narrating Death: Exploring the Medical Encounter, Systemic Inequality and Conceptions of Chronicity through Language
Faculty Sponsor: Kate Schapira
Through the narratives of patients, families and caregivers in various clinical settings, Dolma will investigate how one's identity informs conceptions of disease and dying. Dolma hopes to contribute to the growing body of scholarship on the experiences of end-of-life care, specifically among patients suffering from chronic illness.
