Playing With Clinical Jargon

Jargon shapes bodies, senses, and scenes of everyday and medical experiences of health. In this hands-on sensory methods and writing workshop, we experiment with jargon through medical ephemera and clinical objects. Working with a lively archive of pop cultural and medical education media, this workshop asks: how does jargon feel? What worlds does it give us access to? How is jargon improvised, hacked, recycled, and repurposed for other uses? Through a series of guided ethnographic exercises from the field of feminist science and technology studies, participants will become public investigators, developing their writing and research skills while making sense of the material, cultural, and felt dimensions of jargon.
