[UPDATE] EXTENDED: CFP NeMLA 2015: (Roundtable) Beyond 'the Wounded Surgeon': Nurses' Construction and Recovery of the Wound
From Florence Nightingale to Nurse Ratched, nurses have been portrayed by others and by themselves as, in turn, idealized paragons of femininity and vilified portents of social disintegration. This roundtable seeks papers that consider the complex ways in which this ambiguous figure has navigated the wounded bodies, minds, places, and social relationships that litter the pages of literature.
DEADLINE EXTENDED UNTIL OCTOBER 13, 2015. PLEASE SUBMIT ABSTRACTS VIA THE NEMLA WEBSITE: https://nemla.org/users/abstract.html
