International Health Humanities Network Membership

Hi, I am a PhD candidate in Comparative Literature and French at Cornell University and am working on melancholy in the renaissance period (literary texts and other sources), trying to relate early modern melancholy to views on depression and mental health today and see the contributions that literature and pre-modern conceptions have to make on our contemporary understandings. My work falls outside traditional literary studies for this reason, and I've been curious about Health Humanities and Public Humanities for quite sometime as a better 'home' for my studies and interests. 

I'd love to connect with other people and instuties working in this important intersection. 

Thank you!
