I'd like to invite any who interested to a meeting in the Graduate Space next Tuesday, 11th November at 3pm, to discuss setting up a group that would meet on a regular basis to reflect on readings but also issues and media coverage that's relevant for the history of medicine (very broadly defined) and its relation to the present. We want this group to be a very open one. You needn't be an historian of medicine. And we welcome not just PhD students but MAs and interested undergraduates. 

The meeting on Tuesday will provide an opportunity to discuss initial ideas and hopefully to come up with some concrete plans for a couple of initial meetings later this term. It's also an opportunity to find out more about what goes on in the Centre for the History of Medicine. If you are interested but can't make it to this meeting and would like to be informed of any subsequent developments, could you contact me or Harriet Palfreyman, who is a first year Ph.D. and who has taken the lead in this idea.
