- Medicine and Empathy in Contemporary British Fiction (2017) was contracted by Edinburgh University Press at the same time as the co-edited Edinburgh Companion to the Critical Medical Humanities (Anne Whitehead and Angela Woods, et al. 2016). The underpinning research for these companion publications spanned the five-year period 2012-2017 and involved working across a wide range of disciplinary fields. Together, the two publications launched the second wave of medical-humanities research, namely the critical medical humanities, which reoriented the field away from the individualised clinical encounter and towards a more political, structural, and institutional focus.
