| Event Name: | Literature as a resource for other disciplines |
| Description: | The session examines how the reading of literature can expand the analytical imagination, provide alternative metaphors and supply vital empirical evidence. Three academics from very different disciplines discuss ways in which literature can be invaluable to the broader research community:
Richard Bronk is Visiting Fellow at the European Institute, LSE and author of The Romantic Economist - Imagination in Economics (CUP 2009). Margot Finn is Professor of History at the University of Warwick and author of The Character of Credit: Personal Debt in English Culture (CUP 2003). Neil Vickers is Senior Lecturer in Literature and Medicine, Kings College, London and author of Coleridge and the Doctors (OUP 2004). Simon Blackburn is Professor of Philosophy at Cambridge University, and author of Think (OUP, 1999), Being Good (OUP, 2001), Lust (OUP, 2004) and many other titles. |
