About

The Faculties of Medicine, Arts and Humanities, and Social Sciences created the Centre for Medical and Health Humanities based on their existing work together and future collaborations.

The centre promotes interdisciplinary research and hosts external events including guest speakers, seminars and conferences.

Our main aims are to publicise the work done by our members, and to forge and extend links with researchers in other institutions globally.

News and events

We will be hosting the event Contemplating Evil: ‘Monstrous’ Women in History, Medicine, and Law, 1890s to the Present on 15 May, to celebrate the relaunch of the Southampton Centre for Medical and Health Humanities.
