The reading group for the Medical Humanities Centre at Birkbeck aims to create a space in which academics, clinicians and students can come together to explore key readings, ideas and materials in the field of medical humanities. Our endeavour is to find ways of talking across the different disciplines of the humanities and medicine, and we welcome participation from colleagues interested and engaged in these areas.
School of Arts: Keynes Library, 43 Gordon Square, between 3.30-5pm. For directions on how to find the School of Arts, please see this link.
Set texts:
- Excerpts from Charles Dickens, Bleak House (1853)
