Ep 2: How to Pack Like a Methodology Queen

A philosopher, a historian, and Tucker Carlson walk into a bar… Welcome to Episode 2 of Massively Disabled, the one where Élaina lays out her methodology and rolls it up in a rucksack, ready for the road. We’re talking narrative medicine, citational practices, and the philosophical uses of history (whatever that is) to better understand how we are going to approach the topic of long COVID.
