Using municipal, institutional, and medical texts, Kira Robison examines the outward structures of academic and civic power involved in the formation of medical authority and illuminates the innovations in practical medical pedagogy that occurred during this era. In this way, Robison re-examines academic medicine, the professors, and students, returning them to the context of the medical marketplace within a dynamic and flourishing urban landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">A PDF flyer for the book is available <a href=\"https:\/\/brill.com\/flyer\/title\/39031?print=pdf&amp;pdfGenerator=headless_chrome\">here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to Dr. Kira Robison, Associate Professor of History, on the publication of her new book, Healers in the Making: Students, Physicians, and Medical Education in Medieval Bologna (1250-1550), Volume 126 of Brill&#8217;s The Medieval Mediterranean Series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/history\/2020\/12\/18\/dr-kira-robisons-new-book\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":800,"featured_media":2231,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[35044,93516],"class_list":{"0":"post-2225","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-faculty-news","8":"tag-faculty-news","9":"tag-kira-robison","10":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Dr. Kira Robison&#039;s New Book - History Archive: Jul 2007 - Oct 2025<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/history\/2020\/12\/18\/dr-kira-robisons-new-book\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Dr. Kira Robison&#039;s New Book - History Archive: Jul 2007 - Oct 2025\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Congratulations to Dr. Kira Robison, Associate Professor of History, on the publication of her new book, Healers in the Making: Students, Physicians, and Medical Education in Medieval Bologna (1250-1550), Volume 126 of Brill&#039;s The Medieval Mediterranean Series.
