Episode Notes

This week we're speaking with LOL My Praxis super-fan, Dr Christine Slobogin who admits that she likes to think about us in the shower. Christine is currently a Welcome Trust ISSF Fellow at Birkbeck, University of London. Christine's research emerges at the nexus of the medical humanities and art history. Her latest project considers the visual cultures of WWII plastic surgery and focuses on the work of DICKIE Orpen. In this episode we discuss TUBES & FLAPS and find out what the heck a dangleum is. We also learn about the super sexist world of plastic surgery and how female artists managed to see the funnier side of reconstructive facial surgery.
