Opera Singer Discusses Facial Cancer at April 10 Event

The Slattery Center and the Health Humanities Concentration warmly invite you to attend "Rearranged: An Opera Singer's Facial Cancer and Life Transposed," presented by performer and author, Kathleen Watt. In this talk (which shares the title of her new book), Watt will share how bone cancer in her cheek ended her career as an opera singer while simultaneously bringing her face to face with mortality, disfigurement, and the meaning and uses of beauty. She'll draw on passages from her new book, and dialogue about her journey with interviewer and Health Humanities student, Gabrielle Bingener.

The event will take place tonight, April 10 at 5:30 p.m. in LSC133; it is free and open to the public. All are welcome to attend.
