All staff and postgraduate students are warmly invited to attend a workshop exploring the Health Humanities at ANU. The half-day workshop will be facilitated by Dr Bríd Phillips (Research Fellow, Good Arts Good Mental Health Project, The University of Western Australia), a researcher in health and medical humanities.

The workshop will provide a hands-on introduction to this exciting interdisciplinary area of research and practice, with case studies and contributions from experienced practitioners. It will also develop participant experience through practical activities and discussion. This open, collaborative event is aimed at creating opportunities for collaboration in this space and recognising important work already underway at ANU. Whether you are new to this area of research and practice, or already working in the field, we hope you will join us!
