MedEnv Network

Description

The MedEnv Network's key goal is to establish a network and programme of activities that explore the intersection between medical and environmental humanities. It's ambition is to lead research in this field from an historically-informed humanities standpoint and to develop future research collaborations to consider the rich nature of human and non-human interrelationships and their impact on health and wellbeing. One of the network's main aims will be to explore how the humanities can be of value in understanding the challenges facing humans and non-humans (which includes the environment as well as animals) in relation to physical and mental health concerns posed by climate change, environmental degradation, and animal-borne diseases.
