Dear colleagues,
This email concerns the exciting new ‘Introduction to Dissertation Research’ series to be held at Wellcome Collection this February. These events will showcase the vast potential of our unique and distinctive collections for postgraduate humanities students undertaking dissertations or other collections-based research projects. As a world-leading resource for the study of the social and cultural contexts of health and medicine, our collections span life, death and everything in between. We think the value of our materials speak to a range of disciplines.
We will be holding our ‘Introduction to Dissertation Research’ series across Monday 18th, Wednesday 20th and Friday 22nd February. Each session, lasting ninety minutes, will begin with a general introduction to research at Wellcome Collection before focusing on a selection of our materials and how these might inspire exciting and original research questions.
For further details on these events, including the collections we will be showcasing, visit: https://wellcomecollection.org/events/XBpXCxMAADAAkdeh
Students will be able to book their place at a session through the Wellcome Collection website from Friday 25th January at 11am. Our sessions are primarily intended for postgraduate students, however we welcome the attendance of final year undergraduates. Attendees are invited to browse our catalogues beforehand as there will be time for questions related to their specific areas of interest.
Please share this message with your students. If you have any questions about these events, contact us at collections
