ENVIRONMENTS, EXPERTISE AND EXPERIENCE

The Centre for Medical History has been successful in securing Wellcome Trust funding for a five year project: Environments, expertise and experience: The transmission and boundaries of medical knowledge and practice. The project will start in October 2008.

The project will encompass research under three main headings:

Environments, bodies and boundaries
Sexual knowledge, sexual experiences and health
The transmission and boundaries of medical knowledge and practice

In addition, we intend to disseminate and share our work with a variety of audiences, via a range of activities, including:

Interdisciplinary seminars
Collaborative projects with external organisations, eg Met Office, Devon Record Office
Widening Participation activities with schools
Public lectures
