Health in Our Hands: Bridging lived experiences of health from patient, community, biomedical and artistic perspectives
When:
—
Venue:
Birkbeck Clore Management Centre
How do we come to know health—our own or that of others? In a time marked by global crisis, inequality, and rapid technological change, lived experience offers vital, yet often marginalised, forms of knowledge. This one-day conference brings together Early Career Researchers across disciplines to explore health through the lens of lived experience: its stories, its silences, and its capacities for change.
This conference will offer critical, creative, and collaborative contributions that rethink what counts as knowledge, who counts as expert, and how health is felt, represented, and transformed. It will include approaches from the arts, natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences, and foreground co-production, public engagement, and inclusive research practices.
We are committed to accessibility and inclusivity. The conference will be hybrid, and travel support is available for UK-based ECRs.
This conference is free and funded by the Institutional Fund for Research Cultures Wellcome Trust Grant to Birkbeck, University of London. It is organised by members of the ECR co-production of health network at Birkbeck. For more information about the conference email ECRhealthconference@proton.me
