Description:
This interdisciplinary conference emerges from the NCRM/ESRC project Communicating Chronic Pain, which has aimed to explore chronic pain communication through digital and arts-based methods. The conference brings into dialogue diverse perspectives from the arts, humanities, social sciences and medicine around chronic pain, chronic illness, science and health communication, building on the initial research call to address ‘methods at the boundaries’ of these disciplines.
Questions to be explored include: what kind of a thing is pain? Where is it located? What kind of work is needed to address it? How do the temporal aspects of chronic pain and chronic illness affect their expression? What forms of communication are enabled through arts-based methods? And what are the ethics of working in and around pain and illness?
