Durham University's Convocation Explores Health on a Changing Planet
Durham University's annual Convocation event returned to Michigan on 23 October, bringing together staff, students, alumni, and supporters at the Mount Oswald Hub. The event, curated by Vice-Chancellor Professor Karen O'Brien, featured a panel discussion on 'Health, wellbeing and fitness on a changing planet', combining research updates, University Strategy discussions, and networking opportunities.
The panel comprised researchers from all four academic faculties, each presenting their work on health and wellbeing in a changing world. Professor Angela Woods highlighted the role of humanities in health research, focusing on voice-hearing and psychosis experiences. Meanwhile, Professor Amanda Ellison discussed interdisciplinary approaches to health challenges, emphasizing environmental influences. Professor Mariann Hardey examined the impact of health data tracking on interactions with healthcare professionals.
Dr Patrick Jachyra explored the relationship between physical and mental health, particularly for neurodivergent individuals. Unfortunately, specific information about the four researchers involved in the discussion on the connection between health, wellbeing, and fitness on a changing Earth was not available. The University Strategy update, presented by Professor Karen O'Brien, focused on widening access, promoting fairness, and ensuring sustainability.
The event provided a platform for researchers to share their insights and fostered a sense of community, with positive feedback on the venue and food. It marked a significant step in the University's commitment to health research and its future strategy.
