• Program

During the last decades we have witnessed an increasing academic and political interest in the many interfaces between culture and health, and different disciplinary fields – e.g. philosophy, aesthetics, anthropology, media and communication – are currently developing research projects and collectives dealing with the roles of culture in health.
The aim of this seminar is twofold: 1) To invite researchers and research environments from the Humanities at AU into a collective discussion on how we approach, define and explore culture, health and its many interconnections; 2) to facilitate an open and explorative dialogue with strategic partners outside the Humanities and beyond the university about future agendas and collaborative potentials linked to exploring and developing the cultural dimensions of health (e.g. Faculty of Health, Aarhus Municipality and Central Denmark Region).
