Mellon Foundation, and will be at the IPRH Lecture Hall, Levis Faculty Center, Fourth Floor (919 West Illinois Street, Urbana, IL) on October 26, 2017, at 4:00 p.m. Biohumanities Interchange events bring together scholars from the humanities and life sciences to compare notes on how disciplinary and transdisciplinary methodologies give shape to shared research objects.

Sari van Anders, Associate Professor of Psychology and Gender and Women’s Studies at University of Michigan, will talk about how she uses insights from feminist and queer theory to pose different questions for laboratory research in social neuroendocrinology.
