Events

A list of future and past events organised as part of the Newcastle Medical Humanities Network.

Upcoming Events

This year we are running a series of work-in-progress sessions which invite researchers to share their ideas at an early stage. We offer feedback in a supportive environment and enable connections with researchers from other disciplines. Some of the topics we will be exploring include: the role of metaphor in public health data, the artist’s book as methodology, interpreting social distress in mental health research, thinking with and through the body, and the experiences of terminally ill children.
