DESCRIPTION:This interdisciplinary workshop aims to investigate the notion
  of empathy toward the dead or diseased body in medical practice. It is of
 ten assumed that medical professionals develop a distinctive sensibility t
 hrough repeated exposure to death and other emotionally charged situations
 . Historically\, since the 19th century\, the cultivation of emotional det
 achment was considered essential to the making of the medical professional
 \, and played a central role in establishing medicine as an objective scie
 ntific discipline. However\, recent research in the Medical Humanities has
  emphasized the need for more empathetic approaches to medical practice. B
 y bringing together medical practitioners and humanities scholars\, this w
 orkshop wishes to interrogate the historical\, cultural\, and pedagogical 
 dimensions of medical detachment\, to examine the challenges it creates fo
 r students and practitioners\, and to consider how cultivating greater emp
 athy might contribute to reshaping professional norms and improving the pa
 tient experience.\n\n \n\nSpeakers:\n\n- Jim Harris (Ashmolean Museum\, Ox
 ford)\n\n- Paquita de Zulueta (Imperial College London)\n\n- Eleanor Kerfo
 ot (Balliol College\, Oxford)\n\n- Martin Robert (Institut Catholique de P
 aris)\n\n- Felicity James (Stoneygate Centre for Empathic Healthcare)\n\n-
