<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jennifer Borland, Assistant Professor of Art History at Oklahoma State University, will explore the images found in copies of the Régime du corps, a late medieval health
guide. These luxuriously-decorated books, likely intended for use by noblewomen managing their households, were apparently designed to move medical knowledge from the university into the home. As such, they alter how we might understand women's roles in
late medieval healthcare.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
