*Wednesday 04 December 2013* *14:00-17:00* *International Portal (R0.12, Ramphal Building*) You are warmly invited to a second IATL workshop exploring the Medical Mind in literature, science and culture on Wednesday 4th December (week 10). The event is part of a project to design an M-level interdisciplinary module, aiming to approach ideas in a new way and design new kinds of teaching and learning. This workshop will explore ideas about the relationship between brain and mind, mental health and disorder, perception and feeling through scientific, literary and theatrical texts. It will think about how reading literature, watching theatre and film, and performing may all help doctors, nurses and patients better understand and communicate about illness. Clinical colleagues from psychiatry and palliative care will participate. We will focus on the work of Samuel Beckett, and in particular his 1972 theatrical work Not I, but will also make links with the work of Virginia Woolf, Harold Pinter and Peter Brook. Prior experience or knowledge of these writers or the previous work on this project is NOT necessary, however! The workshop will take place from 2-5pm in the Ramphal International Portal. Refreshments will be provided. Please contact Lauren Bellaera on L.Bellaera@warwick.ac.uk to reserve a place. Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
