Reminder: Brazilian film showing tonight at MLRC Wednesday Night Film Series

Hello all,

The film tonight at 7:30pm as part of the MLRC Wednesday Night Film Series is M8 – Quando a morte socorre a vida (M8 – When death helps life), an award-winning suspense drama from Brazil directed by Jefferson De. The film touches on critical subjects of social belonging and exclusion, class, opportunities in education and social mobility, interracial friendships and romance, and the Black Lives Matter movement in Brazil. All while telling a gripping story of a young medical student's mysterious connection with the cadaver assigned to his study group for anatomy class.

 

Hope to see you at the showing!

Health Humanities Grand Rounds with Dr. Daniel Romero Suárez

Register in advance at go.unc.edu/Suarez

Please join us virtually for Health Humanities Grand Rounds featuring Daniel Romero Suárez, PhD on Wednesday, March 9th at 4:00pm.

In his talk titled "What Can Poetry Tell Us About Disease? The Case of Latin American Cancer Author-Patients," Dr. Romero Suárez will start to explore preliminary answers to the following questions: What are some limitations of linear biomedical narratives? Is linearity compatible with precarious health experiences? How do Latin American poetic traditions insert past political violence in current cancer diagnosis? Can cancer be considered a communal experience?

We hope to see you there!
