Who Cares? A History of Emotions in Nursing

The Living With Feeling team has partnered with the Royal College of Nursing to create Who Cares? A History of Emotions in Nursing, a public exhibition exploring the emotions associated with nursing and care, which is now open to the public.

From concepts of religious love and faith, idealised motherhood and gendered notions of care, to the role of military discipline in the professionalisation of nursing, Who Cares? focuses on six key emotional themes: birth, death, sex, faith, war and protest.

The exhibition will be open at the Royal College of Nursing Libraries and Heritage Centre, Cavendish Square, London, until 31st December 2021. Find out more here.
