A wonderful afternoon for the first Advisory Panel, convened for the major project at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Amazing work going on to engage audiences in heritage for wellbeing and revivify their incredible spaces! #histmed

A wonderful penultimate workshop day. Did some productive writing/editing this morning (I hope!) then a “walking workshop” in nearby Royal Fort Gardens, responding to the landscape and peeking inside an outdoor artwork made from samples of 10,000 tree species.

Our feedback sessions yesterday focused mainly on framing and ethics: useful platforms for editing today. We also disrupted pictures of trees in our final session. A thought-provoking exercise about violent impacts of surgery and quest for “normal”, with parallels between health and environment.

At our Bristol health/environmental humanities workshop today we’ll be sharing feedback on chapters in preparation for some editing/writing tomorrow. So privileged to be part of such an exciting group of scholars and practitioners, and to be able to offer and receive constructive comments.

Sourdough pizza and pillow mist. Bristol truly outdoing itself.

Heading down to Bristol tomorrow for a few days to workshop chapters for a medical/environmental humanities handbook with fellow contributors. I’ve been assigned a fascinating draft case study on “insects” to read and reflect on in advance. Can’t wait for the discussions and chats! #histmed#medhums
