Postgraduate Medical Humanities Conference 2015. (360G-Wellcome-108857_Z_15_Z)

Now in its third consecutive year, the Postgraduate Medical Humanities Conference at the University of Exeter provides a welcoming and collegial atmosphere for students at all stages of their postgraduate career. The deadline for abstracts has now closed, and we are delighted to be welcoming over fifty delegates from a wide range of disciplines and institutions, including speakers from Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Australia, the USA, and India. In additio n to postgraduates working in the areas of Film, Literature, History, Classics, and Archaeology, the conference will also include papers by medical students. Specific sessions will include a workshop on public engagement run by the organisers, a panel bringing together archivists and curators of interest to medical humanities scholars, and workshops from the Brighton Health and Wellbeing Centre and the University of Falmouth. We hope that the conference will promote interdisciplinary approaches and collaboration. We also hope to provoke lively debate about the intersection of medical practice and the medical humanities.
