Medicine, Health and the Arts in Post-War Britain Medicine, Health and the Arts in Post-War Britain is a series of Wellcome Trust-funded interdisciplinary seminars designed to bring together undergraduate and postgraduate students, early career academics,health practitioners and arts Building on the success of the event ‘From The Cradle to the Grave: Reciprocity and Exchange in Medicine and the Making of the Modern Arts’ held at the University of Exeter in April 2011 and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the main premise of the seminar series is that the relationship between medicine, health and the arts can only be understood by examining the processes of exchange between them. Each individual seminar comprises three speakers and will begin with an introductory overview, followed by a ‘case study’ of the post-war impact of the art on medicine/health/wellbeing and another paper which is a ‘case study’ of the reverse. Seminars will be held at St. Nicholas Priory, Exeter (with the exception of 16th March at Bristol University) and will take place on the following dates: Attendance of each seminar is limited to 30 places; please contact the seminar organisers on either address below to reserve a place. There are also a limited number of train tickets available for those travelling from Bristol/Plymouth to Exeter and vice versa; these are on a first come first served basis so please email to enquire as to their availability. Snacks and refreshments will be served. For all enquiries or any further information on the seminars, please contact Sam Goodman (sgg204@ex.ac.uk) or Victoria Bates (vlb204@ex.ac.uk). • Poster for Art Seminar (PDF 264KB)
