Professor Hilary Marland, CHM Director, was a guest on BBC Radio 4's 'In Our Time' programme last week. With host Melvyn Bragg and guests Justin Champion (Professor of the History of Early Modern Ideas at Royal Holloway, University of London) and Jonathan Andrews (Reader in the History of Psychiatry at Newcastle University), she discussed the early years of Bedlam, the name commonly used for the London hospital of St Mary of Bethlehem outside Bishopsgate.

The programme is available on BBC iPlayer here, with further information and a reading list.

The Warwick Centre for the History of Medicine project: 'Hiding in the Pub to Cutting the Cord? Fatherhood and Childbirth in Britain, 1950s to present' convened by Dr Laura King has endeavoured to bring together the public, arts and academia in a series of events.

A film has been produced showcasing this project and features the theatre production 'Our Fathers', by Babakas, performed at the Warwick Arts Centre on 12th and 13th June 2012, panel discussions which followed these performances, and poetry readings at the Coventry Mysteries festival on 16th June 2012. http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/history/chm/outreach/hiding_in_the_pub/video
