Recorded December 12, 2019. A paper by Kathleen Furman (UCC) 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:
