Health and Medical Humanities Network

Wednesday, June, 19, 2019
Location: Trinity Long Room Hub

The CHCI Health & Medical Humanities Network was founded in 2015 and serves as a hub for researchers who aim to contribute to the ways medicine and humanities are taught and practiced. The network seeks to provide new models for research within and across fields, as well as foster collaboration between scholars working in humanities departments and their colleagues in the health sciences.

This network meeting offered an informal, informational session designed to bring together administrators, scholars, and practitioners with interests in the health humanities in diverse global contexts. We discussed the outcomes of the June 2019 CHCI Medical Humanities Institute in Paris, Health Beyond Borders, as well as upcoming plans for 2020 CHCI Summer Institutes in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Odense, Denmark. Members were asked to share updates from their respective centers' activities and future opportunities.
