Welcome to my site! My name is Jenny Slatman. I am professor of Medical & Health Humanities in the Department of Culture Studies, Tilburg School of Humanities & Digital Sciences at Tilburg University.

I have studied physiotherapy at Deventer School for Physiotherapy (1986-1990), and philosophy at the University of Amsterdam (1990-1995), and the University of Paris XII (1997-1998). In 2001, I received my Ph.D. with distinction (cum laude) from the University of Amsterdam.

My research consists of philosophical and anthropological analyses of the meaning of the body and embodiment in art, expression and medical practices.

In addition to my academic research activities, I enjoy teaching (and discussing with) various audiences, ranging from university students to professionals and interested laypeople. If you would like to invite me as a speaker (Dutch, English, French) please contact me.
