The Problem of (Inter)disciplinary Hierarchies

In this piece, Claudia Sterbini and Keiran Wilson challenge the medical humanities’ reliance on disciplinary hierarchies and call for a radical rethinking that dismantles, rather than crosses, boundaries. This piece is part of a collection of posts from attendees at the 2024 Medical Humanities International Summer School for PhD researchers in Vadstena, Sweden, coordinated by the Centre for Medical Humanities and Bioethics at Linköping University, in collaboration with the Institute for Medical Humanities at Durham University.
