Communication, Narratives and Antimicrobial Resistance Workshop
Thursday 16 May 2024, 9am - 6pm
Online and In person, Merton College, Merton St, Oxford OX1 4JD
Register here to join the workshop in person and online.
The World Health Organisation has declared Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) as one of the ‘top global and public health development threats.’ This one-day workshop will approach the problem from a Humanities perspective. It will focus on the power of narrative and communication in discussions around antimicrobial resistance.
Topics will include:
- Narratives of antibiotic resistance in both primary and secondary healthcare, with a focus on clinician-patient encounters.
- The communication of antimicrobial resistance through journalism and social media.
- The role of scientific publishing in highlighting the challenges of antimicrobial resistance.
- The power of art and design in communicating information about antibiotics.
The workshop will draw together a wide range of perspectives with participants from the fields of patient activism, journalism, philosophy, microbiology, history, medicine, nursing, policy, and art and design.
