We are excited to announce this workshop which will bring together scholars, researchers and artists from different contexts and with varied backgrounds to imagine new pedagogical practices that include the body as archive of affective and sensory experiences and in this way contribute to new insights in teaching and learning. The idea of this workshop is to start building a community and to offer an inspiring space for thinking, learning and exchange, with an emphasis on practice and interdisciplinarity.
We want to create a space where we can be together with our doubts, our questions and the challenges we face in our pedagogical approaches, celebrate the good and enriching teaching moments, and explore new forms of sharing our knowledge that expand teaching in creative ways.

Workshop aims
> Create a meaningful and in-depth networking opportunity for interdisciplinary scholars and artists who research and teach health, care, and medical humanities in different contexts – from universities and research institutes to museums, galleries, and activist contexts
> Develop the teaching practices and methods of all participants, which they can disseminate in their respective contexts and institutions
> Raise the international profile of medical humanities research at University of Vienna
> Create an interdisciplinary and collaborative space for discourse and practice
> Host researchers and artists at different career stages in a space where everyone contributes on equal terms and can learn from each other
> Think about form as much as about content by prioritising considerations around time,
accessibility, and care, which often fall aside in fast-paced academic environments
