Professor Angela Woods is a medical humanities researcher with research interests and expertise spanning three linked areas: the interplay between clinical, experiential and cultural-theoretical accounts of voice-hearing and psychosis; narrative and its role in understanding health; and the dynamics of interdisciplinary and collaborative research. She is the Director of Durham’s Institute for Medical Humanities and the Director of the Discovery Research Platform for Medical Humanities, funded by a £10.4m Wellcome Trust award (2023-2030). Mental health and health inequalities are key foci of the Platform, which fosters partnerships with organisations from the health and VCSE sectors including the South West Yorkshire NHS Teaching Foundation Trust, the Centre for Mental Health, the McPin Foundation and the Newcastle-based Recovery College Collective. From 2012-2022, she was Co-Director of Hearing the Voice, a decade-long interdisciplinary study of voice-hearing also funded by a major Wellcome Trust award.
