Hearts in and out of Crisis: New perspectives on the heart

This event aims to bring together researchers across medicine, health, the humanities and the creative arts to explore new perspectives on the heart in and out of crisis. The symposium brings together a range of interdisciplinary researchers from across the humanities, arts, medicine and science. The symposium will facilitate transdisciplinary dialogue and engage not only researchers but a range of stakeholders interested in improving the heart health of Australians. The event will conclude with the official launch of the ANU Health Humanities Network.
