My latest project is an analysis of the rhetoric surrounding forced sterilizations in Peru during the Fujimori regime (1995-2000) from a perspective of the epistemology of ignorance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title:\u00a0Professor and Chair of the Graduate Program, College of Communication and Design\u00a0 University:\u00a0Lynn University Email:\u00a0vfabj@lynn.edu Description of your work I have been doing research on rhetoric and health for over &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/medicalrhetoric.com\/symposium2019\/valeria-fabj\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Valeria Fabj&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-250","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/medicalrhetoric.com\/symposium2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/250","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/medicalrhetoric.com\/symposium2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/medicalrhetoric.com\/symposium2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medicalrhetoric.com\/symposium2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medicalrhetoric.com\/symposium2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=250"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/medicalrhetoric.com\/symposium2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/250\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":373,"href":"https:\/\/medicalrhetoric.com\/symposium2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/250\/revisions\/373"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/medicalrhetoric.com\/symposium2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
