Chemical Crisis: Memoirs & MCS: Roxana Delbene, PhD
You’re listening to The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast. I’m Aaron Goodman.
In this episode, we discuss illness memoirs as evidence, resistance, and survival. We explore the seminal 1994 memoir by Australian writer, Diana Crumpler, Chemical Crisis: One Woman's Story, Humanity's Future?
I speak with Roxana Delbene, PhD, a linguist and medical humanities scholar who studies how people with so-called contested illnesses, including Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), use language and storytelling to tell their personal stories of lived experience.
