Out-of-the-box thinkers, wildcards, foragers of ideas, hybrid researchers, either by choice or by chance, you are invited on an adventure to wander and wonder on the Fringes of the conventional, and to explore your own creative possibilities for research and teaching in the healthcare professions. Fringe Editions is a place to explore cutting edge approaches to research, inspiring transdisciplinary ideas and hands-on engagement with materials: the necessary ingredients for developing approaches to training healthcare professions education for the future.
Fringe Editions arose from the work of a group of anthropologists, filmmakers, historians, science and technology studies scholars, artistic researchers and educators who came together during the course of six years to study the materiality of learning in medicine. Called Making Clinical Sense, the project was funded by the European Research Council and based in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Maastricht University from 2016 - 2023. It also led to countless books, articles, presentations, exhibitions, workshops and interventions which can be found on the project website.
“Because sometimes the most interesting things are happening on the edges”, Assoc. Prof. Anna Harris.
The Fringe Editions team has included to date exhibition designer and researcher Q. Annie Zeng, filmmaker and researcher Janna Vink, STS researcher Pascalle Paumen and researcher and maker Anna Harris. We worked closely with the designers Ruben Machiels and Frank Slangen .
To date we have facilitated hands-on workshops, festivals, children's workshops and made many free resources like sensory cards and knitting patterns. Now we continue this site as the educational part of a new project on creative practices in hospitals called the Upcycled Clinic. We want to continue to use this space to share the work of others who are also creating in medical education.
