Project Details
Description (abstract)
Director of research: Louhiala, Pekka, Doc., Department of Public Health
Researchers: Louhiala Pekka, Puustinen Raimo, Evans Martyn
The project aims at making sense of the large and un-formed engagement between medicine and the humanities by showing that the biographical understanding of the human is integral to medicine, equally with the biological/scientific, disclosing what is inevitable within medicine (i.e. the humanities dimensions) rather than arguing for additional space to be made available.
- doing so by a coherent series of volumes each of which addresses one of the "big questions" of medicine (as distinct from the big questions of medical humanities) in a genuinely interdisciplinary way
- guaranteeing that interdisciplinarity by the "book-conference" process of iterative authorship and editorship
Other cooperation organizations:
University of Tampere
University of Durham
