REGISTRATION (closes on Friday 17th May 2024)
The Shame and Medicine Project invites you to a free in-person one-day conference exploring different ways in which to research shame. Shame and Medicine is a Wellcome Trust funded interdisciplinary research project based at the University of Exeter and the University of Birmingham, with a collaboration with a clinical partner at Children’s Health, Ireland, in Dublin. The overall aim of the project is to research the role of shame in various aspects of health and medicine, including clinical practice, patient experience and medical student education.
Our conference committee has organised an exciting programme with high quality international speakers, covering different disciplines from across the research community. Expect thought-provoking discussions, learning, and development opportunities. The conference will be your chance to share and discuss research in shame methodologically and philosophically, with an emphasis on the different methods for collecting and presenting data.
Our conference is open to everyone interested in shame, negative self-conscious emotions, health, and social care research, both based in the UK and internationally. The programme is multi-disciplinary, with a wide range of research presentations and discussions selected for their importance and relevance to shame research, and offers the opportunity to:
- Engage with innovative research.
- Build your network and engage with researchers across an array of disciplines to form new collaborations.
- Share your own research with other attendees.
- Discuss ways in which to share ideas and develop new ways of thinking and undertaking research.
