SUMMARY:Narrative Medicine Seminar: Danielle Spencer
DESCRIPTION:9th May at 12:00-13:00\nOnsite event\nin Edu2 lecture room\, Ed
 ucarium\n\nDanielle Spencer\, Narrative Medicine Program\, Columbia Univer
 sity\nNarrative Medicine and Metagnosis\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nNarrative Medicine i
 s a form of clinical care conducted with attentiveness to narrative. It is
  also an interdisciplinary field of inquiry joining healthcare and the hum
 anities. I will describe fundamental principles and practices of the field
 \, as well as its applications in clinical practice. As an example of its 
 applications\, I discuss my work on metagnosis\, referring to the diagnosi
 s of a longstanding undetected condition. This can occur when the conditio
 n simply was not detected—as was the case for my own long-standing visua
 l field “defect”—and can also occur when the diagnostic definitions 
 have shifted\, as with ADHD and autism spectrum disorders. I propose that 
 a narrative medicine approach to such revelations illuminates different un
 derstandings of normalcy\, disease\, disability\, and identity. These expe
 riences also invite different “readings” and open towards multiple pos
 sible narrative outcomes. Ultimately such narrative awareness promises gre
 ater empowerment in healthcare and beyond.\n\nDanielle Spencer\, Ph.D. is 
 the author of Metagnosis: Revelatory Narratives of Health and Identity (Ox
 ford UP\, 2021) and co-author of Perkins-Prize-winning The Principles and 
 Practice of Narrative Medicine (Oxford UP\, 2017). Academic Director of th
 e Columbia University Master of Science in Narrative Medicine Program\, he
 r scholarly and creative work appears in diverse outlets\, from The Lancet
  to Ploughshares. Formerly artist/musician David Byrne’s Art Director\, 
 Spencer holds a B.A. from Yale University\, an M.S. in Narrative Medicine 
 from Columbia University\, and a Ph.D. from Johannes Gutenberg University 
 Mainz\, and has been awarded fellowships at MacDowell and Yaddo. Lives in 
 New York city. www.daniellespencer.com&lt\;http://www.daniellespencer.com/
