This book was initiated in the context of The Body in Translation: Historicising and Reinventing Medical Humanities and Knowledge Translation, an international research project led by Eivind Engebretsen and John Ødemark and based at the Centre for Advanced Study, the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters in Oslo during the academic year 2019/2020. We are grateful to the Centre for its hospitality and support, which were invaluable during the early phase of developing the plan of the book, and for providing the funding for open-access publication of the final manuscript. A special thanks to Professor John Ødemark, co-PI of the The Body in Translation, for his continued support.

We would also like to acknowledge the support of the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare Education (SHE) at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo, with which we are both affiliated.

Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to our editors at Cambridge University Press, Anna Whiting and Camille Lee-Own, for their professionalism and unfailing support during the writing of this manuscript.
