Public Lecture by Professor Brian Hurwitz

Join us for the upcoming Centre for the Humanities and Medicine Public Lecture by Prof. Brian Hurwitz, Emeritus Professor of Medicine and the Arts in the English Department at King's College London.

Prof. Hurwitz will examine the invention of ‘Medical Humanities’, a lexical string that brings two different domains together in terms of intellectual, educational, and Anglo-American contexts. He will also discuss the various functions of the term and what this novel expression signified at the dawn of the twentieth century.
