*Materialities of care: encountering health and illness through objects,

‘Materialities of care’ is a two day event organised by the Universities of

architecture, geography and museum studies. This event is supported by
funding from the Foundation for the Sociology of Health and Illness.

the humanities and social sciences are welcome to apply, and postgraduate
and early career applications are particularly encouraged for this strand
of the event. Please send an abstract of up to 250 words to
