Professor Steven Feierman will be discussing the intersections of health and healing, science, and religion in Africa, in the context of two of his published works: Steven Feierman, "Explanation and Uncertainty in the Medical World of Ghaambo" (Bulletin of the History of Medicine, Volume 74, Number 2, Summer 2000, pp. 317-344) and a co-authored chapter with John M. Janzen, "African Religions" in Science and Religion Around the World (eds. Brooke and Numbers, OUP, 2011 pp. 229-251)

Professor Feierman will also reflect on his experiences of teaching histories of health, healing, and science beyond the West.
