Unraveling the Anthropocene: Race, Environment, and Pandemic
A special episode featuring LAC's April 2022 roundtable event (Co)Figurations of Care: Experience and Infrastructure in the Medical Humanities, featuring Anna Ulrikke Andersen, MK Czerwiec, and Victoria Lupascu. This roundtable discussed care and its multiple and diverse configurations. Care ranges from looking after a patient, to being attuned to the needs of the self and its surroundings, to reorganizing the built medical environment. Our speakers' work reflects on the biopolitical management of health, medical spatial organization, and personal or fictional narratives of care. How do visual art, architecture, and medical technologies can produce, contest, configure and disseminate spatial and embodied forms of knowledge, and call attention to care? (Moderated by Merve Şen) More information on the event & speakers can be found on the LAC website here.
MK Czerwiec is a nurse and graphic artist (hence her handle, Comic Nurse) who edited 2020's Menopause: A Comic Treatment. The book went on to be named on the New York Times' year-end list of the best graphic novels and won two Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards, including one for best anthology. MK talks all about Graphic Medicine, an emerging field that uses comics to enhance medical education and patient care and help people process trauma and painful experiences. MK is also going through menopause, and she's very interested in finding ways to deal with hot flashes and some of the other symptoms we experience. And stay tuned, because near the end of the podcast she offers one of the best tips I've heard for creatively making a plan that we can turn to in our hardest, darkest times.

MK Czerwiec was not the kid in school who could draw. But in 1994, during her first nursing job on AIDS Unit 371 in Chicago's Illinois Masonic Medical Center, she began writing and creating comics as a way of coping with what she witnessed daily: the terrible toll of AIDS. In today's show, MK talks about Taking Turns: Stories From HIV/AIDS Care Unit 371, her graphic novel, which combines her memories of working in Unit 371 with the oral histories of its patients, family members and staff. MK tells us how the book came about, how creating comics has helped her in caring for her own family members, why graphic narratives are useful in high-stress situations and how comics are now being used as a vital tool in healthcare.

You may have noticed an interruption in the podcasting of presentations from Brighton. This has been due to both poor audio quality and time constraints. Hoping to get a few more of those presentations audible and edited before our Baltimore conference. In the meantime, Michael Green was kind enough to interview me, MK Czerwiec, while we were on a mini-speaking tour of Southern California. Michael is a gifted interviewer, and I can babble about Graphic Medicine at a moment’s notice. Hope you enjoy our chat. Download podcast
