Accepting a postdoctoral fellowship in Medical Humanities led to unexpected empowerment and creativity. The field facilitates an interdisciplinary approach, allowing for innovative course structures and diverse research methods. It creates connections beyond philosophy, enhancing teaching and collaboration with medical, public health, and arts communities. This setting is particularly beneficial for women and others seeking growth in ways that traditional philosophy may restrict. The experience and insights gained can help guide early-career scholars in navigating Medical Humanities programs effectively.
The Medical Humanities is not locked into the same disciplinary silos or hierarchies that can limit opportunities in mainstream academic philosophy, creating space for leadership and risk-taking.
Crossing disciplinary boundaries in Medical Humanities fosters creativity in course structure and research methods, empowering scholars to explore interdisciplinary connections beyond philosophy.
