The Therapeutic Revolution: Medicine, Meaning and… : DASH Story 2014-12-03
Story content
I was so pleased to find Charles Rosenberg's classic essay on the therapeutic revolution available in open access. While I have a couple of Harvard degrees including a Ph.D., I am currently an independent scholar and public intellectual. My teaching is largely through blogging. With Open Access, I can write about 19th century medicine in a blog post and then link to the full article. This allows me to point a much larger pool of readers to a landmark piece of scholarship, and gives them a chance to learn in more depth. There's no use producing knowledge if it's buried in a locked library or behind a firewall.
