# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Case of the Human Conference: April 16, 2026 - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 16 Apr, 2026 at 10:00 am – Thu, 16 Apr, 2026 at 04:00 pm (-05:00) - **Event Description**: Speakers at this international conference will delve into the genre of the case in medicine, the humanities, and the social sciences.About this EventThe case study is a genre that traverses the humanities, social sciences, and medicine, yet its conventions, epistemologies, and politics differ dramatically across these fields. What work does the case do? What does it reveal, and what does it conceal? How might a truly multidisciplinary approach to case-making generate new knowledge about the human? These are the questions that animate the Neubauer Collegium's Case of the Human project, an ambitious research collaboration aimed not merely at translating theory across disciplinary boundaries but at co-producing knowledge that transcends them.This conference will highlight three related elements of the project: 1) We will discuss the ongoing publication of our “Cases in Global Social Medicine” series in The Lancet; 2) We will delve into the genre of the case in medicine, the humanities, social sciences, and beyond through a series of reflective roundtables; 3) and, through a series of comics-making workshops with artists, we will graphically explore and construct selected case studies from across disciplinary boundaries.10:00 amWelcome and OverviewBrian Callender (University of Chicago Medicine)Eugene Raikhel (University of Chicago)Scott Stonington (University of Michigan)10:30 amRoundtable 1: The Case as GenreEmily Yates-Doerr (Oregon State University)W.
