 Exploring Wellcome 1: Medicine, Society and the Making of Modern Europe to 1800

Based at the Wellcome Library, this module surveys the social and cultural history of medicine in Europe, focusing on the emergence of medicine as knowledge and practice. We will think about the ways in which sickness and health were understood in the past within the context of broader historical changes. We will also try to understand how concepts of body and mind, disease and gender have changed over time and have shaped medicine, and we will analyse the changing relationship between doctors and patients.
