Essex philosopher is shortlisted for new national health award

10 Aug Essex philosopher is shortlisted for new national health award

Professor Wayne Martin, from the School of Philosophy and Art History at University of Essex has been shortlisted in the Best Research category of a new award launched by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the Wellcome Trust.

He is in the running for a Health Humanities Medal for his work on the Essex Autonomy Project (EAP), which has made an impact on national and international legal frameworks and helped frontline health and care staff deal with complex decisions.

The Project has included looking at compliance with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities – an international treaty seen as a vital step in realising the right of disabled people to be treated as full and equal citizens.
