TLRH | Ageing and Cinema

Wednesday, 29 September 2021, 12:30 – 1:30pm A seminar by Amir
Cohen-Shalev, University of Haifa as part of the Medical and Health
Humanities Lunchtime Seminar Series in association with Trinity
Long Room Hub. Prof Shalev has written widely on ageing through
cinema and literature, including a seminal book, Visions of Aging,
in 2009. The Trinity College Dublin Medical and Health Humanities
Initiative brings together researchers from a wide range of
disciplines including history, philosophy, sociology, drama, health
sciences, religion, cultural studies, arts, literature and
languages. Medical and health humanities seeks to provide insights
into the cultural and social contexts within which diverse but
interrelated concerns such as the human condition, the individual
experience of illness and suffering, and the way medicine is (or
was) practiced, might be understood. The Trinity College Dublin
Medical and Health Humanities initiative seeks to cultivate a
richer understanding of the interactions and synergies between
practices and discourses of wellness, health or medicine and the
arts, humanities or culture through interdisciplinary research and
education. Learn more at: https://www.tcd.ie/trinitylongroomhub/
