'''Monica Greco, Ph.D.''' Senior Lecturer, Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths College, University of London. Fellow of the Alexander Von Humboldt Stiftung.

Dr Monica Greco has a long standing research interest in the implications of dualist or ‘bifurcated’ thought for medicine and for social-scientific approaches to medicine. Theoretically, this interest has led her to engage with aspects of the history and philosophy of science and medicine, and with questions relating to historical epistemology, constructionism, and process ontology . Empirically, her work analyses how dualism has been problematised in medicine in the context of a number of historical and contemporary examples: her doctoral work focused on psychosomatic medicine; more recent work focuses on medical humanities/narrative medicine. She is particularly interested in the notions of social, political and/or moral progress implicit in these practices, and in how their proponents articulate their relation to the status quo. 

Monica Greco is the author of Illness As a Work of Thought: A Foucauldian Perspective on Psychosomatics (Routledge, 1998); co-editor of The Body: A Reader (with Mariam Fraser, 2005 Routledge) and of The Emotions: A Social Science Reader(with Paul Stenner, 2008 Routledge). Her article-length publications include: 

(2005) On the vitality of vitalism. In Theory Culture & Society, 22(1): 15-27; and 

(2009) On the art of life: a vitalist reading of medical humanities. In J. Latimer and S. Schillmeier (eds) Un/Knowing bodies. Oxford: Blackwell.
