This week’s guest is Lucy Threadgold, a historian of medicine currently based in Glasgow. Lucy took part in one of our research events, the Hackathon, and has also helped us with our research into our exhibition Great Minds: the Brain in Medicine, Surgery, and Psychiatry. Her research has focused on asylum architecture during the 18th century. We chat about mental health, asylum management and architecture, and how we can learn from the past to better today.
