Beneath the skin — an intimate look at our bodies
​​
We will be taking a fresh look at how bodies are seen in medicine. From the influence of tradition and male bias to the blind spots of race and gender. Have female sexual organs had the attention they deserve? We'll explore how priorities in surgery are arrived at and what we can do to compensate. ​
