🎓🩺 Bridging Humanities and Medicine for Societal Impact In this first Open Lecture, graduate students will explore the critical interdependencies and synergies between the humanities and medicine. 🤔 Interested in this topic? Stay tuned! More lectures will be available soon. 👩🏫 Link to the lecture in the post below 👇 Aarhus University University of Belgrade Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin King's College London Université catholique de Louvain University of Oslo Université Paris Cité Università di Pisa University of Vienna
Dean of European University Alliance | Academic Head of Unit Ι Medical Humanities & Critical Sustainability Scholar
🌍 How can the medical humanities contribute to sustainability and help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs)? In this Circle U. (European University Alliance) Open Lecture, I explore how the medical humanities can bridge the gap between evidence and action, using the SDGs as a key case study. To make this happen, we need a translational approach—one that connects insights from history, philosophy, and discourse analysis with scientific knowledge and practical efforts to address global challenges like health equity, environmental sustainability, and social justice. 🔗 Here’s the link to the lecture: https://lnkd.in/dHy4ERHs This is the first in a series of Open Lectures titled "Bridging Humanities and Medicine for Societal Impact," a collaboration between medical humanities scholars from Université Paris Cité, Université catholique de Louvain, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, King's College London, University of Vienna and the Universitetet i Oslo (UiO) | University of Oslo. 📢 More lectures coming soon— and the series will eventually be developed into a Circle U. course where students can create their own lectures to be added. Stay tuned for updates and upcoming events!
