Workshop Series, "No End of Wonders," Celebrates the Unique Scholarship and Collegiality of Prof. Katharine Park
Katharine Park's career as scholar and teacher has been distinguished by daring, dedication, and an unfettered imagination for topics and approaches that are new, rare, and unusual. From her earliest work on the social history of Renaissance medicine to her ongoing researches on gender, sexuality, and the body in medieval and early modern Italy, she has reconfigured narratives of the history of hospitals, anatomy, and illness in this period and pioneered the uses of innovative sources, both textual and visual. On the occasion of her retirement, her colleagues and students gathered to pay tribute to a remarkable career in learning and to celebrate Katy's enlivening influence on all she has touched.
