Leeds Centre for Medical Humanities

Description

The Centre for Medical Humanities brings together researchers who are specialists in a range of subjects from across the arts and humanities and builds connections with researchers in clinical and laboratory science, medical engineering, health sciences and primary care, and service users across the city.

The Centre's 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 and wellbeing. Researchers use historical materials, fictions, cultural theory and the creative arts to develop innovative interdisciplinary approaches to exploring meanings of medicine and health, building collaborations with partners in Leeds and beyond. Across the Centre's work, inspiration is taken from present-day societal challenges, including demographic change, developments in technology, and global health inequalities.
