TLRH | Of Fear and Strangers: A History of Xenophobia

Wednesday, 23 February 2022, 12:30 – 1:30pm ‘Of Fear and Strangers:
A History of Xenophobia’ a seminar by George Makari and Brendan
Kelly as part of the Medical and Health Humanities Lunchtime
Seminar Series in association with Trinity Long Room Hub. 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:
