On 18 June 2015 our visiting PhD student in history Carolin Schmitz (Instituto de Historia de la Medicina y de la Ciencia “López Piñero”, University of Valencia) gave a talk on ‘Crossing healing spaces: the sick and their mobility in early modern Spain’. Carolin works on health care in early modern Spain. She is using trial records to recover the perceptions and actions taken by sick people seeking help and care.
