Narrative, Culture and Community Research Centre
@nccratbournemouth.bsky.social
We're an interdisciplinary research centre focused on narrative and culture based at Bournemouth University. Our interests include comics, crime fiction, autofiction, spatiality, medical humanities, and memory studies. https://www.litsampersand.org/nccr
We have a number of scholars from near and far presenting on medicine in Victorian literature, contemporary literature, literature and public health, graphic medicine and mental illness and neurodivergence.

We're looking forward to it!

We wanted to evoke this Great Western Railway poster from the 1930s--Bournemouth has a long history of being a site for convalescence and wellbeing as well as holiday hijinks.
