I recently gave an invited talk as part of Triple Canopy’s “How We Do Illness” symposium, which considered how personal narratives shape public perceptions of illness. The symposium was produced in conjunction with Triple Canopy’s recent Risk Pool issue, edited by Corrine Fitzpatrick, Molly Kleiman, and Lara Mimosa Montes.

My talk, entitled “Illness Narratives in Digitally Mediated Environments,” examined how the increasingly mediated experience of patienthood shapes how we tell stories about illness, and how we call on others to health activism as part of a collective obligation toward health equity.

The event can be streamed here.
