Medical Humanities Research Group, Leeds

Description

The Medical Humanities Research Group brings together researchers who work on a broad range of topics across the interaction between literature/culture and medicine and health.

The group's focus is interdisciplinary, and it has strong connections with colleagues in medical engineering, health sciences and primary care, as well as service users across the city of Leeds, particularly through the University’s Centre for Medical Humanities.

The group's research approach is to utilise the critical thinking practices of the arts and humanities to ask questions rooted in experiences, practices, representations and histories of medicine, health, illness, disability and care. Researchers use fictions, cultural theory and the creative arts to develop innovative approaches to exploring meanings of medicine and health.
