About

With over 30 member institutions worldwide, the CHCI Health and Medical Humanities Network is one of the largest organizations in the field, forging new interdisciplinary networks and collaborations between campus, clinic, and community. Our Network's particular strengths are our global membership and our emphasis on scholarship and research.

The Health and Medical Humanities Network was launched from the CHCI Mellon grant for work in the medical humanities (2013–2016). As part of that grant (which also funded research projects at six different CHCI member centers), we created this interactive website. As membership has expanded and the Mellon sub-grant has concluded, our Steering Committee continues to organize events. The Network meets regularly at the Annual Meetings of the  Consortium for Humanities Centers and Institutes  (CHCI), which are hosted around the world.

This interactive website includes a directory of Network membership and partnership, while also serving as a repository of the Network's scholarship, projects, events and social media activity throughout the world. The website is now hosted by The Society of Fellows and Heyman Center for the Humanities at Columbia University.
