Medical Humanities Conference
Global Medical Humanities, 8 - 10 July 2013
The Centre for Medical Humanities at the University of Aberdeen looks forward to hosting the Association for Medical Humanities Annual Conference 2013. The University has been at the forefront of the development of medical humanities in Scotland but this will be the first time that the Association has come to ABerdeen for its annual conference. The event will be the tenth annual meeting of the Association and will be an opportunity to consider new directions for the field. We look forward to welcoming participants to the Granite city.
There has been continuous and vigorous debate about the theory and practice of medical humanities but only recently have questions been raised about the content and aims of the field in a global context. Medical humanities has sometime been, in effect, parochial. Taking as our theme ‘Global Medical Humanities’, this conference aims to open up hitherto marginalised aspects of the field.
