Deafness

Ruben Verwaal, ‘The Recovery of Earwax in Early Modern Europe’, Symeon 11 (2021): 14–17. 

The global and local health inequalities revealed and perpetuated by the COVID-19 pandemic require us to reflect upon how we do medical humanities research. How does our work render some aspects of health and illness visible, while leaving others out of sight?

On Wednesday 14 October 2020, I gave a talk for the History and Philosophy of Science Seminar in Leeds on the topic: ‘Fluid Deafness: Earwax and Hardness of Hearing in Early Modern Science’.

In december 2019 begon ik mijn postdoc onderzoek in Durham University. Hoe ging de verhuizing en het onderzoek? Dat zie je terug in deze Rubiconvlogs 2020.

On 11 April 2019 I gave a lecture at the Groningen Centre for Health and Humanities, presenting my new research project, which I started developing as Visiting Research Fellow at Institute for the Study of Culture (ICOG).
