Event – Health, Well-being and Cultural Heritage: Research, Evidence and Practice
Book now for our free evening event on health, well-being and cultural heritage research
The contribution of arts and culture to health and well-being has received considerable attention over the last ten years from researchers, funders and government - including, most recently, the publication of Creative Health, the report of the All-Party Parliamentary Inquiry into Arts, Health and Well-being.
Join us for an NHSF and Tate briefing session on Tuesday 12 September 2017, from 5.30 to 9 pm, in which a panel of experts will present state-of-the-art thinking on this topic and their perspective on what needs to be better understood. Participants are invited to debate what kind of evaluation and evidence is needed to fill research gaps and build the evidence base, and how heritage science can contribute to this very active area of research and public policy interest.
We hope that this event will inspire new collaborations in health, well-being and culture, and that it will encourage participants to think about the applications of heritage science to this field.
Panellists will include:
- Professor Helen Chatterjee, Professor of Biology at UCL and co-founder of the National Alliance for Museums, Health and Wellbeing
- Professor Nick Barratt, author and Honorary Associate Professor of Public History at the University of Nottingham, currently involved in exploring the potential application of digital memory curation in dementia care
- Dr Christina Buse, Lecturer in Sociology and Social Psychology at the University of York, currently working on the relationship between the built environment and knowledge of care and well-being
- Dr Tony Munton, Chartered Psychologist and Managing Director of Matrix Evidence
