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. As part of the Centre for Qualitative Research CQR 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 humanising practice in education, practice and research.
Our next meeting is
On December 7th 2017, From 2pm to 4.30 pm, At R303, Royal London House, Lansdowne Campus
