It was a such privilege to have been involved in delivering this PhD School. I was blown away by the students' willingness to be present and open to others participating in the School, and by their passion and dedication to their research. Heartfelt thanks to all who joined & supported us.
🎬 And it's a wrap! Over three days of masterclasses, creative workshops, reading groups and film screenings, we've explored how queer theory and praxis can shape health research at our Queer Methodologies in Medical Humanities #PhDSchool.
Queer Methodologies in Medical Humanities
This week we welcomed 21 PhD students from around the world to our Queer Methodologies in Medical Humanities PhD School.
