about
Our mission is to highlight and expand upon topics at the intersection of Humanities and Medicine. Annually, we invite and sponsor speakers who majored or minored in English to address the Duke Student Body and share their own experiences embracing duality within these fields of study. In hosting these events, we seek to unite those who hope to combine, rather than choose between, these subjects and thereby enhance our intellectual culture.
"If one looked for the bridge, the missing link, between the world of words and the world of things, one did not have to look far: it was there in our...smoke-filled labs, and in our future trade."
- Primo Levi
