We are a group of scholars and practitioners who have an interest in what makes us Feel Human and how this is linked to Health, Wellbeing, Dignity and Compassion. We use Lifeworld approaches and subjective experience as the basis for our understanding. For more information please click here
At meetings we discuss issues following two presentations, and share our on-going work into humanisation in education, practice and research.
Our next meeting is
On April 11th 2017, From 2pm to 4.30 pm, At Lansdowne Campus, EB202
The two presentations are
- The relatives’ experience of acquired brain injury and the humanising role of the Expert Companion Mark Holloway – Brain Injury Case Manager Head First, SSCR Fellow
- Using photography to encourage introspection among GPs Rutherford – Senior Lecturer, Bournemouth University
