The International Association for the Study of Language and Culture in Health Communication (LACHCOM) is pleased to invite you to our postgraduate networking event.

Join us on February 18th at Manchester Metropolitan University for a day of friendly and informal networking with fellow postgraduate researchers from across all disciplines who are interested in health communication and / or medical humanities.

This is a fantastic opportunity to meet and engage with new people with similar fields of interest and perhaps even find future opportunities for collaboration.

We will also be joined by Professor Kristina Niedderer (Manchester School of Art) and Professor Elena Semino (Lancaster University), who will be presenting guest talks on their respective projects: MinD (designing for people with dementia) and Metaphor, Cancer and the End of Life.

Lunch and refreshments will also be provided.

The Manchester Met campus is easy to get to from the city centre. Visit the how to find us and campus map webpages for more information.

About LACHCOM

LACHCOM is an interdisciplinary network working at the intersection of health discourse, communication and/or cultural studies.

The association was founded by Dr Stella Bullo, Manchester Metropolitan University (UK) in association with Dr Dalia Magaña, University of California, Merced (USA) and Dr Mariana Pascual, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile with the purpose of supporting the development of an international research culture by creating global networking and collaboration opportunities.

LACHCOM aims to provide a home for the dissemination of research, information and practice and further develop the research identity of the field. LACHCOM will also support and promote new researchers in the field at postgraduate and post-doctoral level. Our goal is to raise international and local awareness about health communication issues and source resources for research in these areas.
