On 21st January, CHM was privileged to host a roundtable discussion on 'Case Histories' with renowned neurologist and author Dr Oliver Sacks. As well as our special guest, participants included some of CHM's postgraduate researchers and academic staff, other Warwick historians and colleagues from other disciplines and institutions. The starting point was examples from Dr Sacks' books Awakenings and The Mind's Eye, and a lively and wide-ranging discussion followed, touching on Sherlock Holmes and his methods, the body, being a writer and different kinds of histories.

Filmed extracts from the discussion will be available on this website soon.

CHM will be holding a 2-day conference, ‘Situating Medicine: New Directions’ at the University of Warwick. It will be a major event to present findings at the end of CHM's most recent 5 year Wellcome Trust Strategic Award, and to discuss future trends in Medical Humanities. There will be a mixture of invited and bookable places available. More information to follow on the Events page.
