Conferences

The organizing committee is excited to welcome you to Oslo, Norway in June 2025 for a conference gathering colleagues working at the intersection of biomedical science and the social sciences and humanities. We aim to build a network of peers working in the field of social medicine, including health practitioners jointly trained in the social sciences or humanities and scholars across disciplines committed to nurturing health for all through practice, theory, and/or action.

The summit provides a unique opportunity for PhD students within Health Sciences across the Nordic countries to meet, engage in scientific discussions and to build networks.

¡°Curating Modernism & Medicine¡± is a public conference prompted by the exhibition Lifeblood: Edvard Munch (MUNCH). In different ways, the papers presented consider how the intersections between modern art and medicine have been curated in the past and are being curated today. 'Curating' is understood both in terms of organizing exhibitions and caring for objects in curatorial practice and art-historical research.

¡°What if ¡­¡± Anthropology invites us to ask such questions, because it rests on a scholarly certainty that everything could be different. This makes anthropology critical and irreverent, and consequently creative and innovative.
