This article explores themes around how knowledge, education, and access to information shape people’s understanding of health and society. It uses material from the Wellcome Collection to reflect on how stories, archives, and cultural objects can change the way we think about human experience, particularly around medicine and wellbeing.
It also highlights how historical perspectives and personal narratives are used to question assumptions about health, identity, and inequality. The piece encourages readers to see education and knowledge as something broader than formal schooling, extending into culture, history, and lived experience.
