Christine slobogin

Art historian and Assistant Professor of Health Humanities and Bioethics Christine Slobogin has been working in the public humanities through podcasting since 2021. With the help of the ICPHS, she has created and published the first season of “In the Same Vein,” a podcast co-hosted by medical students, undergraduates, and PhD students that examines groundbreaking work in the interdisciplinary fields of the health humanities and bioethics. Through interviews with innovative scholars, this podcast explores how the study of the humanities influences medical practice, and how, in turn, medicine influences the study of the humanities. The first season of “In the Same Vein,” released throughout the Fall semester of 2024, explored topics such as the use of AI in medicine, emotions and surgery, and medical error. Slobogin also co-hosts and produces “Drawing Blood,” a podcast about art and visual culture, histories of science and medicine, and the macabre. Over three seasons, Slobogin and her co-host have discussed topics from disability in M. Night Shyamalan’s films, human remains in museums and contemporary art, race in medieval transplant histories, and plastic surgery in Andy Warhol’s work.
