Durham FUSE researchers enjoy NIHR grant success

A warm welcome to Anna Stenning, who joins us on the Discovery Research Platform for Medical Humanities as a Postdoctoral Research Associate with the Narrative Practices Lab.

Our IMH Senior Fellow, Jane Macnaughton has led a team of Durham staff to success in attaining a £1 million grant from Wellcome to develop research culture at Durham.

Exciting opportunities for Durham University researchers from across disciplines to come together and help us think about how we can best support and foster work in the areas of narrative research and storytelling.

As part of the Discovery Research Platform for Medical Humanities, our researchers are partnering with the Edinburgh International Book Festival to develop ReaderBank: the world’s most ambitious study of reading, imagination and well-being.
