It is our pleasure to invite you for the first meeting of Medical encounters network, that will take place in Herta Mohr 0.16 on Friday 17 October, from 14:00 until 16:00 – followed by drinks.
Medical encounters aims to bring together colleagues from Leiden University with an interest in the broad theme of Health Humanities, and especially in the social, (inter)cultural and communicative context of medical care. The central focus will be on human interactions in various medical contexts. We hope to create an interdisciplinary network by inviting researchers from the health sciences, social sciences and humanities to join us, making Medical Encounters a platform for the exchange of expertise, insights, methods and approaches that will give Health Humanities in Leiden its own profile.
The October meeting will mark the start of the project. We will introduce the project, there will be a short round of introduction and plenty of opportunity to discuss plans and perspectives on medical interactions.
