Abstract

We approach Gartnavel Royal Hospital in Glasgow, Scotland, as a site of pedagogy via foot, archival record, and film. We animate the mental health asylum as a contemporary space of learning and geohumanities education. We share elements of lectures, a field visit and workshops that bring undergraduate students up-close to asylum geographies past and present. We creatively render these materials on the page as means to explore educational and experimental encounters with shifting forms of medical intervention on the human mind-body.
