Breaking the Wall of Pain
Description
From public health to history and anthropology, African historian Julie Livingston takes an innovative stance on improving conditions for African patients and clinical staff, particularly those dealing with cancer and issues of pain and palliation. With Fulbright-Hays and Rutgers University fellowships, Livingston has built her body of work on over a decade of research, mainly in Botswana, exploring questions of disability, chronic illness, aging, suicide, personal debt, caregiving, disgust, and citizenship. In this 2010 Falling Walls lecture video, this committed ethnographer conceptualizes the human body as a moral condition and shows the ethical implications of the different "pain relief politics" existing in the global South and North.
