This year’s conference will run the gamut from traditional Medical Humanities to the Expressive Therapies, highlighting the increasingly praxis-oriented direction of the Health Humanities, so we will prioritize submissions that are positioned in the following overarching categories:
- Education: How are the various fields in the humanities, arts, and social sciences contributing to the education of medical, nursing, dental, and other healthcare professionals? How are outcomes in this area being assessed?
- Practice (Implementation): How are the arts and humanities being implemented to impact the well-being of patients, health services users, non-professional carers, and healthcare professionals themselves? Who is collaborating and cooperating in such projects, and where are the occurring? How are outcomes being evaluated?
- Research: What research paradigms and methodologies from other fields are being applied in healthcare fields? How are academics in the humanities and arts studying health-related issues? What methodologies are being employed in the Health Humanities as an emerging discipline?
- Theory and Vision: How is the Health Humanities being defined and conceptualized? How can we put it to work locally and globally to improve individual, community, societal, and global health and well-being? How might it contribute to public health, sustainable and equitable healthcare systems, healthy longevity, and any of the other continuing and emerging health-related issues of our time?
Please include 1 or a maximum of 2 of the Topic Codes below with your submission, to help ensure a smooth review process:
*We are aware that the areas of Education, Practice, and Research nearly always overlap to some degree. Use your own judgment to choose which area embodies the primary thrust of your presentation, and if necessary, choose up to two codes to describe your proposal.
