Experiencing health and illness in Scotland: new perspectives

Tuesday 1st September 2009
9:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Experiencing health and illness in Scotland: new perspectives will take place on 1 September, 9am-5pm, at Surgeons Hall, Edinburgh.

This event aims to bring arts and humanities researchers in Scotland together with partners from related disciplines and organisations to explore two related themes around how arts and humanities subjects can contribute to:

i. new perspectives on the experience of health and illness in Scotland and

ii. new approaches to therapy and recovery in Scotland.

The workshop is part of a series of events organised by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the Scottish Funding Council (SFC), who are working together in a strategic partnership to explore potential for enhancing knowledge exchange in the arts and humanities in Scotland. The events will bring together arts and humanities researchers and non-academic user communities to identify knowledge-exchange successes to date and to explore potential for further activity.

These workshops will expose arts and humanities research to specific areas of policy interest to Scotland and provide new perspectives and novel opportunities for partnership working in the future.
