The Measurement Lab is part of the new Discovery Research Platform for Medical Humanities (DRP-MH) that will be hosted by the IMH from September 2023 to the end of August 2030. The Lab is also linked to and supported by the Centre for Philosophy of Epidemiology, Medicine and Public Health.

Led by Marco Bernini, the Narrative and Cognition Lab will bring together scholars from narrative theory, cognitive scientists (philosophers of mind, neuroscientists, psychologists, phenomenologists, neurobiologists), and creative artists to create a methodological catalyst for exploring narrative, cognition, and narrative cognition.

The DeepEnd will develop new insights into intractable questions around health inequalities, mental health, and the treatment of complex multimorbidities.

Two new papers from Fellows of the IMH’s Centre for Philosophy of Epidemiology, Medicine, and Public Health (CPEMPH) illustrate new directions that the critical medical humanities might take, by adopting philosophical methodologies and applying them to public health and epidemiological problems.
