As we celebrate our tenth year, we are thrilled to be hosting our own SASAH alumna Maryam Golafshani, who will speak on “Literary Lessons on Doctoring: Reflections on Madness and Medicine Through Feminist Literature and Theory”.

Maryam Golafshani is a senior medical student at the University of Toronto. She was part of the first cohort to graduate from Western University’s School for Advanced Studies (with a Major in English) in the Arts and Humanities, and then stayed at Western to complete her Master’s at Western in Theory and Criticism. Drawing upon her interdisciplinary education, Maryam has significantly contributed to developing the health humanities in Canada through research, education, and public engagement.
