International Health Humanities Network Membership

The recently founded Medical Humanities Research Centre (MHRC) is based in the School of Critical Studies, but functions across the College of Arts and the College of Medicine, Veterinary and Life Sciences and in close liaison with the College of Social Sciences.
The MHRC is co-directed by Dr David Shuttleton and Dr Gavin Miller.
The MHRC is advised by a committee drawn from various Schools and subject areas across the university. The current members are: Professor Sally Wyke (Institute of Health and Wellbeing), Professor Sam Cohn (History), Dr David Bain (Philosophy), Professor Nigel Leask (English Literature), Dr Sheila Dickson (German), Professor Malcolm Nicolson (Centre for the History of Medicine), Dr Christine Ferguson (English Literature), Professor Marek Dominiczak (Medical Humanities Unit).

S. Downie remain foundational studies. A wide range of Medical Humanities research, including some major externally funded projects, is currently being undertaken across Glasgow University. In this context we see the MHRC as offering a fresh framework upon which to deepen and expand internationally significant research
