Call for Chapter Proposals
Editors: Christian Riegel (Regina) & Katherine M. Robinson (Regina)
The health humanities field arises out of encounters of the humanities with health broadly conceived, and has rapidly become recognized for its breadth of application, involving numerous disciplines, expansive interdisciplinary practice, and multiple professional and individual contexts. A key consideration that binds these encounters is how health and the humanities come together in application, and From the Trenches builds from this elemental concept.
As the field of health humanities continues to expand, we assert the primary concern is how we find the humanities in action in health contexts. This assertion motivates the conception of From the Trenches: Health Humanities in Application, which underscores the need to move beyond theoretical and meta discussion and articulate the deployments of the humanities in health practice, research, teaching, and creative endeavour, to more fully understand the contexts and boundaries of the field.
We invite expressions of interest relating to any aspect of the intersections of health and the humanities in applied contexts. These contexts can range from the conventional humanities disciplines (e.g., literary studies, history, philosophy, etc.) to creative fields (e.g., visual art, digital art, installation art) to epistemological considerations. The notion of application should be broadly conceived to include any expression of health. For example, considerations of art creation and disability, research on literary and/or artistic expressions of disease, pedagogical discussions of how and where the humanities fit within health education (and not just medical education), or how the humanities are deployed in a wide-range of professional contexts would fit well. Other configurations are anticipated as well. We welcome innovative, unique, and non-traditional articulations of our theme.
