This is a one-day workshop at Lancaster University supported by the ESRC NWDTC that focuses on the value of alternative methodologies in the medical humanities. Although our primary focus is North West based PGRs, we are also pleased to welcome ECRs and participants from other institutions working in the medical humanities. Papers will cover a range of topics within the medical humanities, focussing on how researchers use interdisiplinary methods to approach critical questions in the area. Speakers come from a range of disciplinary backgrounds including English, History, Sociology, Social Policy and Law. This is the inaugral event of the North West Medical Humanities Postgraduate Network.<\/p>\n
