About
This is a cross-College project on Transdisciplinary Health Humanities Education, funded by an ANU Strategic Teaching and Learning Grant. The project aims to develop a cross-university community of practice and innovative, sector-leading approaches to health humanities education.
Health humanities is a transdisciplinary field of research and education that explores human health from a perspective not anchored to a particular discipline, but informed by knowledge, perspectives and practices from medicine, psychology, humanities, and the creative arts. While the ANU has substantial research expertise relating to health humanities, students have limited opportunities to engage with health humanities theories, methods, and practices, particularly those relating to the creative arts.
Drawing on the expertise of a multidisciplinary team of scholars and educators from CASS and CHM, this project aims to develop health humanities education at the ANU as a means to build student capacity for transdisciplinary problem solving relating to health and wellbeing.
