Event Description
The Knowledge in Motion – Science and Medicine in the Islamic World online lecture series (History of Science Museum, University of Oxford) is created in partnership with the HSMT Centre and the Global History Centre.
In this talk, Daniel Burt (Khalili Research Centre, Oxford) will discuss the public engagement branch of the Literary History of Medicine Project which focussed on developing board and card games on the subject of Medieval Islamic Science and Medicine and was run in collaboration with the History of Science Museum’s Education Officers, Chris Parkin and Sukie Trowles. Daniel will provide an overview of the project, present the games that were made and played with the public, and look at the wider process of creating games, and how they can be used as a vehicle to engage the general public with the outputs of academic research.
