Sherine\u00a0Hamdy<\/span>\u00a0will discuss her move from medical anthropological research to working on creating a graphic novel, featuring women from extraordinarily different circumstances each facing a medical decision the other can’t understand.\u00a0Lissa<\/a><\/i>, which takes place against the backdrop of Egypt’s popular uprisings,\u00a0is informed by\u00a0Hamdy<\/span>\u2019s ethnographic research in Egypt on the vulnerabilities that expose people to kidney and liver disease, and the difficulties of accessing proper treatment. The work also draws on Coleman Nye\u2019s research in the U.S. on the social and political calculus of managing genetic risk for breast and ovarian cancer within a commercial healthcare system.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
