Disease, Disability and Medicine in Early Medieval Europe workshop at the University of Nottingham
The University of Nottingham will be hosting a workshop this Sunday and Monday that will examine how disability, in all its forms, was viewed and treated during the Middle Ages.
Disease, Disability and Medicine in Early Medieval Europe AD 400-1200 will feature over a dozen scholars who will examine the cultural, religious, social and even legal implications for those afflicted with a malady of the mind or body.
It will cover topics usually considered to be relatively modern issues including mental illness, male infertility, health and safety at work and body image.
