Each of the above networks were awarded funding from our New Networks in Critical Medical Humanities Funding Scheme.
Recognising that collaboration and moving across disciplinary boundaries is increasingly important to generating new frameworks, scholarship, and practices within critical medical humanities research, the scheme allows the NNMHR to identify and support other networks of researchers committed to the innovative development, complication and expansion of critical medical humanities.
