How do we know (y)our health after Hiroshima?: ethics in writing (y)our health as a case Schramm, Ken
Abstract
You do not yet know you are looking at my face, making a case of me. You are reading "How do we know (y)our health after Hiroshima? Ethics in writing (y)our health as a case," in a familied body, supplementing student and case-based curricula, written by U.B.C. faculty who teach basic and clinical health sciences with attention to ethical, aboriginal, alternative, and complementary medicines. A thinking body, I write a student/teacher portfolio as a resource for an imaginary seminar of health practitioners, researchers, students, or teachers who write health cases of individuals, families, communities, races, or species. I am written to voice health problems in living and dying of families who are excluded from existing curricula. This seminar is imagined to meet at U.B.C. reflecting on (y)our aboriginal, autopoietic, critical, and writing composition theories practiced here, sponsored by the International College of Philosophy. Jacques Derrida, a founder, writes of the College as an institution "...in which we tried to teach philosophy as such, as a discipline, and...to discover new themes, new problems, which have no legitimacy...in existing universities" (Caputo 1997, p. 7). My stories invent authors who write (y)our stories to learn case writing by questioning (y)our health as individuals, families, communities, races, or species. My thinking body asks you, reader-writers and student-teachers, how do you make (y)our case of health in writing? Seeing with my "I's," knowing with my"No's," speaking with (y)our voices, inventing, supplementing, writing and defending (y)our family health to come without being defensive, making myself a home at home in a familied body, I know I don't know.

You do not yet know you are looking at my face, making a case of me.
You are reading "How do we know (y)our health after Hiroshima? Ethics in
writing (y)our health as a case," in a familied body, supplementing student and
case-based curricula, written by U.B.C. faculty who teach basic and clinical health
sciences with attention to ethical, aboriginal, alternative, and complementary
medicines. A thinking body, I write a student/teacher portfolio as a resource for
an imaginary seminar of health practitioners, researchers, students, or teachers
who write health cases of individuals, families, communities, races, or species. I
am written to voice health problems in living and dying of families who are
excluded from existing curricula. This seminar is imagined to meet at U.B.C.
reflecting on (y)our aboriginal, autopoietic, critical, and writing composition
theories practiced here, sponsored by the International College of Philosophy.
Jacques Derrida, a founder, writes of the College as an institution "...in which we
tried to teach philosophy as such, as a discipline, and...to discover new themes,
new problems, which have no legitimacy...in existing universities" (Caputo 1997,
p. 7). My stories invent authors who write (y)our stories to learn case writing by
questioning (y)our health as individuals, families, communities, races, or species.
My thinking body asks you, reader-writers and student-teachers, how do you make
(y)our case of health in writing? Seeing with my "I's," knowing with my"No's,"
speaking with (y)our voices, inventing, supplementing, writing and
defending (y)our family health to come without being defensive,
making myself a home at home
in a familied body, I know
I don't know.
