Please join Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine and the Oakland University School of 教育 and Human Services in welcoming 瑞秋E. Gross for an evening of medical humanism.
Medicine has never quite known what to do with the clitoris. Because it's intimately bound up in female sexuality and pleasure yet not strictly involved in procreation, it makes a lot of doctors uncomfortable. We’ll take a brief tour of the history of the clitoris in Western medicine, looking at how this crucial organ has been erased, 忽略了, and pathologized, and how that history has shaped gynecological healthcare today. We’ll also look at how medicine is beginning to address this bias through better training in vulval anatomy and efforts to update inaccurate and biased language.
Ms. Gross is an award-winning science journalist who writes about gender bias and marginalized voices in medicine for The New York Times, Scientific American, 英国广播公司, 和其他人. She is the author of “Vagina Obscura: An Anatomical Voyage,” a New York Times Editors’ Pick and finalist for the 2023 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Nonfiction and the PEN/E.O. Wilson Award in Literary Science Writing. 以前, she was a 2018-19 Knight Science Journalism Fellow and the digital science editor of Smithsonian magazine. Her investigation into medicine’s failure to research the clitoris was one of NYT’s most-shared articles of 2023. Her NYT column, BODY LANGUAGE, explores the impact of medical language on patients, and research.
