Bradley Lewis has dual training in interdisciplinary humanities and medicine (specializing in psychiatry). He writes and teaches at the interface of medicine/psychiatry, humanities, cultural studies of science, and disability studies. He is the cultural studies editor for the Journal of Medical Humanities and is the author of Moving Beyond Prozac, DSM, and the New Psychiatry: Birth of Postpsychiatry. His current book project is a narrative study of clinical encounters. He is part of a growing number of academics who bring theoretical humanities to the biosciences. Professor Lewis's work teases out questions of difference and inclusion (ability, class, race, sexual preference, gender, nation status) in the creation and application of scientific knowledge.
