Recorded October 16, 2019. A paper by Dr Oisín Wall (UCD) with
discussant Prof Desmond O’Neill (TCD) with live streaming to
clinical sites as part of the Medical and Health Humanities
Initiative Seminar Series. About the Medical and Health Humanities
Medical Humanities seeks to provide insights into the cultural and
social contexts within which diverse but interrelated concerns such
as the human condition, the individual experience of illness and
suffering, and the way medicine is (or was) practiced, might be
understood. The Trinity College Dublin Medical and Health
Humanities Initiative brings together researchers from a wide range
of disciplines including history, philosophy, sociology, drama,
health sciences, religion, cultural studies, arts, literature and
languages.These events offer the opportunity to see medicine
through the eyes of academics who are concerned with literary,
historical, philosophical, aesthetic and technological perspectives
of health, illness, disability and practice. CPD for medical
practitioners has been applied for. Learn more at:
