Abstract
Health care practitioners around the world are searching for creative new ways of making sense of the human condition and ameliorating distress, often in the face of complex problems and financial austerity. The humanities have a key contribution to make to a variety of healthcare disciplines, but so far the field of medical humanities has been limited by a narrow focus on medicine and a preoccupation with literature, history and philosophy.
This project addresses a pressing need for a broader and strategically inclusive approach to applied humanities in health care. Our term Health Humanities is chosen to represent progress away from this largely medical focus, with a groundbreaking project to develop an International Health Humanities Network (IHHN) aiming to provide a platform for an evolution towards a more inclusive and impactful 'Health Humanities'. Based at the University of Nottingham, but in partnership with an expanding base of UK and international collaborators the IHHN will provide the first internationally accessible focal point for humanities and healthcare scholars to network, find shared objectives, develop resources, contribute to training, and undertake research with health and social care professionals who comprise the majority of the caring workforce, as well as informal carers, service users, self-carers, and charitable and voluntary sector.
The IHHN will spearhead the involvement of humanities disciplines in innovative health and social care practice, offering a pioneering response to the call for social relevance and impact. To begin such an exploration, four invited workshop sessions will be held that focus on the themes of health and well-being in terms of: media and film; ecology/ environment and literature; applied health linguistics; and music. These workshops will act as a starting point in expanding the way the humanities can inform and transform healthcare. The IHHN will encourage collaborative research, further funding applications, and provide a generative field for dissemination and exchange of ideas.

Planned Impact
The health care environment is rapidly changing at both a national and global level and practitioners are seeking new ideas to help them cope with novel challenges presented by policymakers, organizational and economic changes and shifting expectations from clients and the wider public. The health humanities represent a wealth of experience, ideas and techniques for understanding illness experience, increasing empathic reach (valuable especially in transcultural care) and offering new methods for effecting desirable and cost-effective clinical, and self-help changes. Moreover, the presence of an International Health Humanities Network (IHHN)and website will be especially welcome as the division of health care into separate enclaves of different professionals, statutory, private and voluntary providers overlaid by rapid organizational change mean that electronic forums for sharing ideas, experiences and good practice, and facilitating interdisciplinary collaborative work are more vital than ever before.
For those who plan and manage health care, or develop policy, the IHHN and website will provide a source of new ideas and inspiration as well as a valuable indicator of the activities already devised and being practiced.
At present, practitioners in health and social care may be isolated from the movement to engage with the humanities. People in geographically remote areas, those in independent or private practice, practitioners in fields not presently incorporated within the statutory sector, and those within commercial provider organizations may at present have fewer opportunities to involve themselves in the health humanities movement. Therefore the IHHN and website is conceived to invite knowledge dissemination and impact, as well as sharing and participation.
The development and enhancement of the health humanities has a good deal to contribute to the delivery of health care at all levels, increasing the effectiveness of public services and policy. The proposed innovation will play a key role in making the UK's research in this field more globally significant and competitive. Researchers are increasingly keen to be able to show the value and impact of their work in an international context. Practitioners need to show they are aware of current developments in their respective fields. Consumers of health, social care and other therapeutic services are increasingly looking online to enable them to make informed choices about the interventions on offer. The proposed project makes all these outcomes more feasible, at the same time enabling a culturally richer, more empathic and interpersonally sensitive approach in health care.

| Description | Working with a range of partners, including the Institute of Mental Health and the US National Institutes of Health, the International Health Humanities Network (IHHN) promotes research and collaboration in the emergent field health humanities and encourages the translation of knowledge into healthcare practice. It provides a platform for interested parties to engage in online debate and to forge collaborations between humanities scholars, healthcare practitioners and the public. Key Activities The IHHN and its website at www.healthhumanities.org was launched 13th April 2012 and has quickly developed a thriving global community across all continents of over 470 members and distribution list of over 2000 people forming a thriving global community of researchers, academics, services users, clinicians, carers and other professionals all continents. The website remains unique in pioneering health humanities, attracting significant web traffic worldwide, particularly from the US and UK. The IHHN is supported by a top class International Advisory Board of leading scholars and has incorporated impact narratives from a variety of congruent projects, a new blog, key links, presentations and/or podcasts from four AHRC-funded invited UK-based seminars were held at the Institute of Mental Health and the Centre for Advanced Studies, The University of Nottingham, with talks by important scholars examining health-related aspects to ecology, music, language and film media and health. Each of these one-day seminars on average attracted 20 scholars from the subject fields, other humanities and social science disciplines, senior health service managers, clinicians and service users. Where permission was granted, podcasts, Powerpoints or audio files from the seminar days were made available at www.healthhumanities.org. The seminars/ workshops were as follows: 1. Music and Health Venue: Institute of Mental Health, Jubilee Campus, The University of Nottingham. Date: 9th March 2012 • Plenary 1: Professor Leslie Bunt (UWE), "Music as an agent for transformation: its place in contemporary health and social care" • Keynote: Professor Brian Abrams (Montclair State University, US), "Musica Humana: When Music Breaks the Sound Barrier in Music Therapy" • Plenary 2: Professor Aaron Williamon (Royal College of Music, UK), "Rhythm for Life: Music and wellbeing in older adulthood" 2: Ecology, Health and Literature. Date: 30th March 2012 • Plenary 1: Professor Terry Gifford (Bath Spa University), "Ecopoetry, Healing and Public Health: The case of Ted Hughes" • Keynote: Keynote: Professor Catrinona Sandilands, • Plenary 2: Dr Adeline Putra-Jones (University of Exeter), "Borrowing the World from our Children: Gender, Posterity and Well-being in the Climate Change Novel" 3. Impact of Applied Linguistics in Healthcare Venue: Institute of Mental Health, Jubilee Campus, The University of Nottingham Date: 26th January 2013 • Professor Brian Brown (De Montfort University), "Re-imaging health through language" • Professor Srikant Sarangi (Cardiff University), "Janus-Faced Translational Research in Health Communication: Some Reflections" • Professor Peter J. Schulz (Lugano University, Switzerland), "Between the humanities and health sciences: Health literacy and patients' empowerment" 4 Media and Film in Healthcare Venue: Centre for Advanced Studies, The University of Nottingham Date: 28th June 2013 • Professor Danny Wedding (Alliant International University, US), • Professor Jenny Kitzinger (King's College London, UK), • Dr Ahmed Hankir (University of Manchester) International Health Humanities Conference The original project included the delivery of the 2nd International Health Humanities Conference: Music, Health, and Humanity was held at Montclair State University, New Jersey, on 9-11 August 2012 with major US keynote speakers (Kate Pierson of the B52s, Joel Thome) alongside other prominent UK and US academic speakers. The conference was attended by academics, service users and carers, from all over the USA, Europe (inc. Scandinavia and France), UK, South Africa, Australia and Iran. To date, this conference series has continued with the 7th IHH Conference being hosted by Southampton University in August 2018. Thematic Advances This project has delivered the leading network and international conference in the fast-growing field of health humanities, bringing together an unusually rich and diverse body of scholars, clinicians and mental health service users to examine and test the boundaries of how humanities disciplines might be applied in society. In terms of the conferences, what has been particularly striking is the broad and inclusive range of academic and non-academic speakers and attendees, marking a radical and ground-breaking evolution from the traditional field of medical humanities. In summary, what has been developed since the initial grant award is the 'engine house' for connectivity worldwide for the new field of Health Humanities. |
| Exploitation Route | The project has brought together non-academic members and contributors including senior health service managers, clinicians, service users and informal carers. With increasing calls on arts and humanities disciplines to narrate how they contribute to society, this project stands out as a model for doing just that. Indeed, the project was one of only two chosen by AHRC for its POST/RCUK event, 'The Science of Health and Wellbeing', at the House of Commons on 4 June, 2013. IHHN also features in the AHRC publication: Health and wellbeing: The Contribution of the arts and humanities (AHRC, 2013). The 2nd International Health Humanities Conference funded directly by the award has continued in a series with the 7th IHH Conference being hosted by Southampton University in August 2018. This conference series has yielded diverse programmes with medical concerns being only a part of rather than the whole focus in terms of content and delivery. Nursing and other allied health and social care professionals joined with mental health service users, carers, social scientists and a core body of scholars in humanities disciplines. The overall project has cultivated exciting connections between people and ideas from different fields of scholarship in the humanities and social sciences alongside key managers and clinicians working in health and social care as well as people who have experienced or continue to experience health challenges as service-users or carers. It has increased public access to non-positivist, interpretative and cultural consideration of health conditions and services through the lens of various arts and humanities. It has provided a legacy for engagement and social practices relevant to the field through a continuation of website-based networking and future conferences. It has demonstrated how quite different academic disciplines, healthcare organisations and the wider public can work together as stakeholders and beneficiaries of applied arts and humanities. Finally, the project has consolidated connections between a now global network in health humanities - something that AHRC strategy emphasises. Importantly, the IHH Network continues to bring together those committed to applying the arts and humanities for healthcare, health and wellbeing and underpins the sustained development of the field of health humanities. It is the leading research network for health humanities worldwide. |

| Description | The IHHN was the first international initiative in the development of the new field of health humanities, pioneered by Professor Crawford in 2007, describing the field for the first time in a paper called 'Health Humanities Innovation' at The Knowledge Transfer from Medical Professionals to Industry: An ESRC Business Seminar and following discussion as early as 2006 with AHRC, led to the way in spurring a field mission for health humanities. Professor Crawford is the world's first Professor of Health Humanities (2008) and has been described as a 'founding father and leader' of this field and to date his work and that of the many local, national and international teams he has inspired have led to the development of over 35 research units or initiatives focused on health humanities in the UK and worldwide which have multiple arts and humanities educational and practice initiatives that benefit healthcare, health and wellbeing alongside postgraduate research. Following this leadership in field mission, we can now see multiple Baccalaureate and Masters programmes worldwide in the health humanities. For example, Berry et al (2016) identified 57 baccalaureate Health Humanities programs instituted in the US alone!

The IHHN and its website at www.healthhumanities.org was launched 13th April 2012 and has quickly developed a community of over 620 members and distribution list of over 2000 people forming a thriving global community of researchers, academics, services users, clinicians, carers and other professionals all continents. The website has quickly become a leading resource, attracting significant web traffic worldwide, particularly from the US and UK. Within its first year alone it attracted 2,199 unique visitors, 12,699 page views, with 76% of these being longer than 60 seconds. In the last year, the IHHN website has attracted 10,122 users between Feb 10, 2019 - Feb 10, 2020 from all continents with predominant use of 100 or more users in rank order: UK, US, Canada, Australia, France, Japan, South Korea.The IHHN is supported by a top class International Advisory Board of leading scholars and has incorporated impact narratives from a variety of congruent projects, a new blog, key links, presentations and/or podcasts from four AHRC-funded health humanities workshops on the themes of music, ecology, language and media/film (see below) and hosts since 2014 the informations for the new AHRC/RCUK Connected Communities large £1.5m research programme 'Creative Practice as Mutual Recovery for Mental Health and Well-Being', 'Dementia Arts and Wellbeing Network' and 'Florence Nightingale Comes Home for 2020' program al led by Professor Crawford at the University of Nottingham. National Seminar Series The series of four invited UK-based seminars were held at the Institute of Mental Health and the Centre for Advanced Studies, The University of Nottingham, with talks by important scholars examining health-related aspects to ecology, music, language and film media and health.

The IHHN then continued the conference with a strong legacy for this exciting and groundbreaking scholarly network and collaboration that has continued through to 2023 with the 11th cycle planned for Derby University, 21-23 September on a history and health theme. The 2nd International Health Humanities Conference: Music, Health, and Humanity was held at Montclair State University, New Jersey, on 9-11 August 2012 with major US keynote speakers (Kate Pierson of the B52s, Joel Thome) alongside other prominent UK and US academic speakers. The conference was attended by academics, service users and carers, from all over the USA, Europe (inc. Scandinavia and France), UK, South Africa, Australia and Iran. The conference generated a book of abstracts The 3rd International Health Humanities Conference took place on 5-7 September 2014 at The University of Nottingham with keynotes from Professors Peter Meineck (New York) and Lars Wieseth (Oslo). The conference explored trauma and texts in the context of health humanities and with a foregrounded topic of warfare. The conference included a mask performance relevant to catharsis and a visual exhibition on World War 1 trauma. The 4th affiliated with Health Humanities Consortium entitled: ''Health Humanities: The Next Decade (Pedagogies, Practices, Politics)' tool place on 1-2 May, at the Center for Bioethics and Humanities, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Aurora, Colorado USA , with keynotes from Professor Sander Gilman (Emory University), Professor Brian Brown (De Montfort U, UK), Professor Alan Bleakley (Falmouth U., UK), and Kirsten Ostherr (Rice University). The 5th IHH Conference took place on 15-17 September 2016 on 'Health Humanities: Creative Practices as Care ' at The University of Seville, Spain, with keynotes from Professor Steven C. Schlozman (Harvard U), Professor Aaron Williamon (Royal College of Music). The 6th IHH Conference on 'Diversity, Cultures, and Health Humanities' took place on 9-11 March, 2017 at McGovern Centre for Ehics & Humanities, Uinversity of Texas, Houston, Texas. The 7th IHH Conference was hosted at Southampton University UK in August 2018. The 8th IHH Conference was held courtesy of the Health Humanities Consortium at DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois, from March 28-30, 2019 The 9th International Health Humanities Conference was held at St Luke's International University, Tokyo, Japan, from 23-26 October, 2020. The conference was changed to virtual due to the pandemic and brought together a diverse range of scholars and practitioners seeking to advance healthcare, health and well-being through the arts and humanities. The event took place during the 100th anniversary of nursing education in Japan and will mark the bicentenary of the birth of Florence Nightingale. The 10th International Health Humanities Conference in affiliation with the Health Humanities Consortium in the US in 2022, 25-27 March, was virtual, reconvening after a pandemic break in 2021 with a focus on 'Spaces of/for health humanities'. The 11th International Health Humanities Conference is being held at the University of Derby, UK on 21-23 September 2023 on the theme of 'history and human health'. The IHHN field mission pioneered by Professor Crawford and his team has inspired the development of to date at least 35 new research units or initiatives focused on health humanities in the UK and worldwide. Thematic Advances This project has delivered 9 successive international health humanities conferences, ensuring legacy value and continued development of this new and fast-growing academic field, bringing together for the first time an unusually rich and diverse body of scholars, clinicians and mental health service users to examine and test the boundaries of how humanities disciplines might be applied in society. In terms of the conferences, what has been particularly striking is the broad and inclusive range of academic and non-academic speakers and attendees, marking a radical and groundbreaking evolution from the traditional medical humanities conference. The conference programmes have been clearly diverse with medical concerns being only a part of rather than the whole focus in terms of content and delivery. Nursing and other allied health and social care professionals joined with mental health service users, carers, social scientists and a core body of scholars in humanities disciplines. The theme of Health Humanities has become far more visible through www.healthhumanities.org and its sister website: www.madnessandliterature.org. Its membership reveals a global community of scholarship, information and ideas sharing in this area. The website has provided a fresh and informative resource, not least in its impact narratives to assist scholars in their work in this field, and in providing an opportunity for public access to information about particular applications of arts and humanities in terms of health benefits. Additionally, the podcasts or other materials of our eminent speakers have allowed people who were unable to attend the seminars to see the breadth of exploration undertaken. A links section enables individuals to access other resources on Health Humanities based material, and is proving to be an excellent route to collaborative project working. Indeed, the number of partners to the site is impressive and the International Board cohere rich expertise and have proved invaluable tin developing the resource. The various discussions in the national seminars and at the sustained conferences revealed new and innovative ways of considering health humanities, in particular the value of music, ecology, language and film media. As the AHRC revisits its impact agenda, with increasing calls on humanities disciplines to narrate how they contribute to society, this project stands out as a model for doing just that. Indeed, the project was one of only two chosen by AHRC for its POST/RCUK event, 'The Science of Health and Wellbeing', at the House of Commons on 4 June, 2013. IHHN also features in the AHRC publication: Health and wellbeing: The Contribution of the arts and humanities (AHRC, 2013). The overall project has cultivated an exciting inter-animation of people and ideas from different fields of scholarship in the humanities and social sciences alongside key managers and clinicians working in health and social care as well as people who have experienced or continue to experience health challenges as service-users or carers. It has increased public access to non-positivist, interpretative and cultural consideration of health conditions and services through the lens of various arts and humanities. It has provided a legacy for engagement and social practices relevant to the field through a continuation of website-based networking and future conferences. It has demonstrated how quite different academic disciplines, healthcare organisations and the wider public can work together as stakeholders and beneficiaries of applied arts and humanities. Finally, the project has consolidated connections between international researchers - and indeed to a global network in health humanities - something that AHRC strategy emphasises. Future Initiatives and Collaboration Following the success of the International Health Humanities Network, Professor Crawford led large teams to successful applications to the large grant programme of Connected Communities, achieving a £1.5m five year grant to investigate Creative Practice as Mutual Recovery; a standout £840K project on the nursing heroine Florence Nightingale 'Florence Nightingale Comes Home for 2020' and most recently a commissioned near £1m award to create and evaluate animations created by Aardman to advance mental health literacy among young people 'What's Up With Alex? Animated Storytelling for Mental Health Literacy Among Young People.' Professor Crawford was also invited to create and direct two new bodies at The University of Nottingham: 1. Nottingham Health Humanities (funded by the Centre for Advanced Studies), launched June 28th 2013 which developed into a Research Priority Area across the university and then as a core aspect of an Interdisciplinary Research Cluster in 2019, with a networked membership of over 80 scholars from diverse disciplines and faculties; 2. Centre for Social Futures at the Institute of Mental Health, to spearhead social and cultural research in mental health. This centre, established in December 2013 and is in its 7th year with multiple Integrated Research Groups and a network of over 80 researchers. Nottingham Health Humanities can be found at: http://www.healthhumanities.org/nottingham_health_humanities/view/home. The Centre for Social Futures can be found at: http://www.institutemh.org.uk/x-about-us-x/our-centres/centre-for-social-futures. During the project period, Charley Baker was appointed as Associate Editor of Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing. Professor Crawford has been invited to advise on the formation of multiple health humanities centres and programmes emerging globally. With the support of the Centre for Advanced Studies (CAS) at the University of Nottingham, Crawford extended the network of health humanities scholarship with appointment of two Visiting International Fellows: Professor Stephen Murphy-Shigematsu (Stanford University) and Professor Gail Horstein (Holyoke College, US), presenting multiple talks in the university and in local NHS Trusts, and, in addition, offering research advice/ surgeries to a range of scholars. The earliest published field description for health humanities was completed in 2010: Crawford, P., Brown, B., Tischler, V. and Baker, C. (2010) Health Humanities: The future of medical humanities? Mental Health Review Journal 15 (3): 4-10.Professor Crawford, Professor Brian Brown, Charley Baker, Dr Victoria Tischler and Brian Abrams then wrote the first manifesto book for Health Humanities worldwide to be published by Palgrave London in January 2015. Since then Professor Crawford, Brian Brown and Andrea Charise have also edited the Routledge Companion for Health Humanities (2020) with 65 separate chapters of theory/ reflection or application of the arts and humanities in healthcare, health and wellbeing from 83 scholars worldwide. Professor Paul Crawford and Paul Kadetz are editors-in-chief for the forthcoming Encyclopedia of Health Humanities with Springer Nature, New York (from 2021). Professor Crawford is also commissioning editor for the Arts for Health Series with Emerald Publishing. During the period of the award, Professor Crawford became Director of both the Centre for Social Futures, Institute of Mental Health and Nottingham Health Humanities. He won Internal Assignment of the Year 2013 for Health Humanities in recognition of 'outstanding temporary assignment' with Unitemps. He was appointed to the Advisory Board for Social Welfare, British Library, The Cultural Value Project, Assessment Panel (AHRC), Science in Culture Advisory Committee and Assessment Panel (AHRC). He was appointed as Adjunct Professor, NTNU, Norway, to the International Advisory Board of Medical School, Arts and Humanities, University of Colorado, Denver, and as International Supervisor to Citizenship: psychosocial processes, culture and diversity, University of Seville, Department of Psychology. He was also nominated for the Eileen Skellern Lecture for his work in advancing health humanities in mental health. Professor Crawford has continued his leadership in driving the field of health humanities by instituting the first national medal in health humanities, co-sponsored by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and Wellcome (launches in 2018). See: http://www.ahrc.ac.uk/newsevents/news/ahrc-launches-health-humanities-medal/. This awards cycle evolved into the more heavily funded Medical Humanities Awards that address both medical humanities and health humanities research. See https://ahrc.ukri.org/documents/calls/medical-humanities-awards-application-guidance/. In 2019 the International Health Humanities Conference was hosted in Chicago, US https://10times.com/international-health-humanities-conference-chicago. In 2020, the 9th International Health Humanities Conference was held at St. Luke's International University, Tokyo, Japan. https://confit.atlas.jp/guide/event/ihhc2020/static/message?lang=en. In 2022, The Announcing the virtual 10th International Health Humanities Consortium Conference in association with IHHN takes place March 25 - 27, 2022. Professor Crawford supported leadership in Middle East by agreeing to give the keynote address for the 2nd International Conference on Medical Humanities in the Middle East (online), April 9-10, 2022. Professor Crawford has incorporated the work of multiple members from the IHHN network in reporting research and practice in his role as Lead Editor-in-Chief of The Encyclopedia of Health Humanities (Springer, New York). |

| Impact | The IHHN was the first international initiative in the development of the new field of health humanities, pioneered by Professor Crawford in 2008, and which led to the way in spurring a field mission for health humanities. Professor Crawford is the world's first Professor of Health Humanities and has been described as a 'founding father and leader' of this field and to date his work and that of the many local, national and international teams he has inspired have led to the development of over 35 research units or initiatives focused on health humanities in the UK and worldwide which have multiple arts and humanities educational and practice initiatives that benefit healthcare, health and wellbeing alongside postgraduate research. Following this leadership in field mission, we can now see multiple Masters programmes worldwide in the health humanities. The following research units and educational initiatives have emerged in the wake of the creation of the field of health humanities and this important AHRC-funded milestone in delivery of its mission: UK Nottingham University Health Humanities Research Priority Area http://www.healthhumanities.org/nottingham_health_humanities/view/home UCL, Centre for Health Humanities (including MA in Health Humanities) https://www.ucl.ac.uk/health-humanities/courses/ma-health-humanities King's College London, with its CHCI Health Humanities Summer Institute http://www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/ahri/eventrecords/2015-2016/CHH/CHCI2016.aspx University of Southampton, The Good Mental Health Cooperative, Health Humanities Supper Club http://goodmentalhealth.org.uk/events/health-humanities-supper-club/ University of the Highlands and Islands, Rural Health Humanities Network https://www.uhi.ac.uk/en/research-enterprise/health/rhw/rhhh Glasgow University, Scottish Health Humanities Seminar and Masterclass Series http://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/critical/research/fundedresearchprojects/shhsms/ University of Edinburgh, Health Humanities and the Arts program http://www.ed.ac.uk/health Swansea University, Health Humanities Centre http://www.swansea.ac.uk/humanandhealthsciences/research/centres-and-groups/health-humanities/ Ireland Trinity College Dublin, Medical and Health Humanities initiative https://www.tcd.ie/trinitylongroomhub/medical-humanities/ USA University of Texas, Houston, Health Humanities Consortium (US) https://healthhumanitiesconsortium.com/2017-houston/ University of Colorado, Denver, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Minor in Health Humanities http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/CLAS/BachelorsPrograms/ProgramsDegrees/MinorPrograms/Health-Humanities/Pages/default.aspx Duke University, Health Humanities Initiative, John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute http://www.fhi.duke.edu/programs/health-humanities.html http://www.fhi.duke.edu/blog/introducing-health-humanities.html University of Illinois College of Medicine at Chicago, Health Humanities Program http://chicago.medicine.uic.edu/departments___programs/departments/meded/educational_programs/health_humanities/ University of Iowa, Obermann Center for Advanced Studies https://obermann.uiowa.edu/programs/working-symposia/health-humanities-building-future-research-and-teaching Misericordia University, Dallas, BA in Medical and Health Humanities http://www.misericordia.edu/page.cfm?p=1798 Hiram College Ohio, BA in Health Humanities http://www.hiram.edu/centers-of-distinction/litmed/baccalaureate-health-humanities Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio.
