Endometriosis Activism: Making the Invisible Visible

Endometriosis is dubbed “the invisible illness”. This nickname has double meaning – on the one hand, it refers to invisibility in the medical sense (endometriosis is difficult to recognize and diagnose); on the other hand, it refers to the social invisibility of endometriosis-patients. Realizing that poor care is a consequence of systemic gender-bias, patients have started creating a range of activist art across disciplines, calling attention to problems surrounding endometriosis-treatment. In this class, we will take a look at literature, visual art, and social media content created by patients with the goal of analyzing the creative wave of endometriosis advocacy and activism.
