Back in May, which feels like forever ago, Amie (@librarylandia.bsky.social) approached me about organizing a roundtable during #graphmed2024 about the potential of graphic medicine for public history.
Long organizing story short: we made it happen and now that roundtable is out in the world!*
A series of podcasts were recorded during the Graphic Medicine Conference in Athlone and we are thrilled to be sharing them with you now!
These will be released very couple of weeks until they've all been shared.
