Our Labs
The Discovery Research Platform for Medical Humanities hosts six Labs for catalysing new ways to research health and human experience.
Our Labs use creative and experimental approaches to generate new research questions on topics such as chronic pain, addiction, mental health, movement, neurodiversity and disability, as well as exploring the links between reading, narrative and well-being.
The Narrative Practices Lab
Developing new and critical approaches to the use of narrative and story-telling in conversations about health.
The Visual & Material Lab
Exploring the new questions and perspectives on health that are generated when visual and material culture is taken as a starting point.
The Moving Bodies Lab
Rethinking dominant approaches to moving bodies in public health and wellbeing contexts.
The Narrative & Cognition Lab
Bringing together narrative theorists, cognitive scientists and narrative creators across media and technologies to explore and co-model cognition.
The Measurement Lab
Exploring the political, historical and philosophical meanings of measurement and its function in medicine and in health.
The Affective Experience Lab
Using the humanities and social sciences to generate new insights into the relationship between emotion and health.
