Brief report from the workshop "Agency in health care: Phenomenology and experience"

The scientific workshop "Agency in health care: Phenomenology and experience" was arranged at University of Stavanger's Department of Health Studies on Monday April 15th, with myself in a coordinating role. Besides functioning as the chair of a discussion session, I briefly opened the workshop (in the absence of Head of Department Kari Vevatne). I had also been taking care of several practicalities, and served as Stephen and Paul's host during their 2-day visit. The workshop featured lectures by Paul Thibault, Stephen Cowley, Febe Friberg and Sissel Eikeland Husebø - see program booklet. Some 12-15 people were present at one point or another, and discussions were fruitful, with practically all participants taking part.

An open lecture by Stephen Cowley, "Interactivity - implications for language and cognition", given Tuesday April 16th, was attended by some 10 people.
