Privilege in the Medical Academy by Delese Wear & Frances K Conley
Feminist Examines Gender, Race and Power
This text approaches medical education from a feminist perspective. By crossing disciplinary boundaries and combining feminist pedagogy and research techniques with medical humanities, literary essay, and autobiography we find our understanding of medicine transformed.Examines the training of our physicians and shows us how "scientific objectivity" reinforces cultural biases based on gender, race, class, and sexual orientation. But, Wear argues, when wise teachers use literature and art to decode the scripts of traditional medical education, doctors can learn to bring into their practices the healing values of imagination, empathy, and social justice. |
