How might sweeping shifts in both religion and medicine in the nineteenth-century impact a wide array of things we face today like loneliness and racism? When the mind began ruling over the body we saw society shift and loneliness, racism, and mental illness rise.
Dr. Fay Bound Alberti is a cultural historian, writer, and UKRI future leader’s fellow who studies the history of medicine and the human body. Her books include Matters of the Heart, The History of Medicine and Emotion, This Mortal Coil, the Human Body in History and Culture, A Biography of Loneliness The History of an Emotion.
Listen in as Dr. Bound Alberti finds a glimmer of hope in what feel like hopeless times. She pinpoints the exact moments in which we started to separate body, mind, and spirit and how it ushered in the world that we now have. She plants seeds of possibility that Covid-19 just might reconnect our bodies, minds, and spirits in a way that could usher in the social transformation that could end discrimination and loneliness and improve our health. The key, she says, is the body.
