This book covers a brief history of the Health Humanities
Consortium and contains a toolkit for those academic leaders
determined to launch inter- and multi-disciplinary health
humanities programs in their own colleges and universities. It
offers remarkable discussions and descriptions of pedagogical
practices from undergraduate programs through medical education and
resident training; philosophical and political analyses of
structural injustices and clinical biases; and insightful and
informative analyses of imaginative work such as comics, literary
texts, and paintings. Previously published in Journal of Medical
Humanities Volume 42, issue 4, December 2021 Chapters "Reflective
Writing about Near-Peer Blogs: A Novel Method for Introducing the

This book contains several critical essays, book reviews, and poems
that address the current pandemic to mark a sad but hopeful first
anniversary of COVID. Similar to many academic journals, the
Journal of Medical Humanities, in which these contributions were
first published, has received a number of submissions during the
first year of the pandemic relating directly to it. In the early
months, the journal saw an unprecedented number of poetry
submissions from physicians who seemed to be turning to verse as a
way to memorialize what was happening, to find ways of healing from
the devastating number of dying patients, and to capture the
exhaustion and anxiety of caring for others day after day without
respite. By publishing this selection, the volume editors honor and
thank all those who have been caring for patients, teaching and
mentoring students, and as such have been contributing to our
understanding and awareness of this crisis. Previously published in
Journal of Medical Humanities, Volume 42, issue 1, March 2021
Chapters "COVID-19, Contagion, and Vaccine Optimism", "Virile
Infertile Men, and Other Representations of In/Fertile Hegemonic

Health Humanities" and "The Ethic of Responsibility: Max Weber's
