2: Lan Li - on methods of medical knowledge

For the Medical Record

Join us in our conversation with Lan Li, PhD – a scholar of global East Asian medicine, acupuncture, sensation, and histories of science – in which we discuss how to take your work seriously without taking yourself too seriously, as well as thinking about situated, embodied practices. Using Lan’s varied career as a historian, media producer, and research director, we think through different methods for disseminating research, medical knowledge, and medical histories.
