Research centre

Southampton Centre for Medical and Health Humanities

Drawing of a heart transplant operation

Our group explores the intersection of medicine, healthcare practices and the human experience through the lens of the humanities. We provide a platform for teaching innovations, public engagement, research collaborations and grant applications.

About

The Faculties of Medicine, Arts and Humanities, and Social Sciences created the Centre for Medical and Health Humanities based on their existing work together and future collaborations.

The centre promotes interdisciplinary research and hosts external events including guest speakers, seminars and conferences.

Our main aims are to publicise the work done by our members, and to forge and extend links with researchers in other institutions globally.
