Publications

As well as actively coming together for conferences around the world and producing a wide range of digital outputs, including podcasts, recorded lectures via Zoom and MS Teams, and interviews on YouTube channels, the Members and Affiliates of the MWHN are also actively producing academic publications. Although small in number now, the Network will continue to add to these over the coming years.
