How can contemporary collecting shape our research on single-use plastics while guiding ethical curation, museum collaboration, and future preservation?
At our Edinburgh workshop, a visit to Surgeons’ Hall Museums revealed how medical materials evolved, highlighting overlooked histories of disposability and raising urgent questions about plastics in healthcare’s future.
What does it take to build ethical, effective collaborations for a sustainable healthcare future? Our "Collaborations" workshop explored justice, advocacy, and co-production beyond academia.
