CUSAS Health and Wellbeing discussion group with Dr Karolina Kuberska

Rethinking with Dr Karolina Kuberska  (University of Cambridge, THIS institute)

Guest interviewer: Evelyn L Hoon (MPhil student in Health Medicine Society)

How does pregnancy blur traditional boundaries of self and other, of emotion and somatic experience? In what ways might we complicate these dualities using the nuances discovered through ethnographic research? In this session, we follow Dr Karolina Kuberska (University of Cambridge, THIS Institute) and her thinking journey of liminal bodies and language, reflecting on classic concepts through the frame of pregnancy. https://www.thisinstitute.cam.ac.uk/about/people/dr-karolina-kuberska/
