CfP: Medical Humanities at the Intersection of Arts and Culture

In an era marked by global health crises, increased mental-health concerns, aging populations, and ethical dilemmas, there is a growing need to examine medicine from a humanistic and cultural perspective. Beyond clinical wards, meanings of health and suffering are represented through literature, visual and performing arts, and the media. Nowadays, when healthcare systems are intensely scrutinized for their ethical, emotional, and cultural dimensions, the domain of medical humanities offers an interdisciplinary space for rethinking medicine as a profoundly human endeavour. Medical Humanities at the Intersection of Arts and Culture seeks to bring together international and interdisciplinary scholarship that explores how artistic and cultural forms shape understandings of illness, care, and the medical profession. The volume aims to advance medical humanities research by foregrounding global, critical, and culturally situated perspectives on health and medicine.
