Join us for a HEAL Lunch and Learn event featuring Cheryl Mattingly, PhD, Professor of Anthropology at USC. She is a medical and psychological anthropologist deeply inspired by phenomenology, the philosophy of ethics, and narrative theory. Professor Mattingly explores the clinical encounter as a cultural border zone: her research has focused on disability, family care and health disparities for minority populations, in particular African Americans. She has authored four books and co-edited three others; her 2014 book, Moral Laboratories: Family Peril and the Struggle for a Good Life, received the New Millennium Book Prize from the Society for Medical Anthropology.
