The Routledge Handbook of Health and Media provides an extensive
review and exploration of the myriad ways that health and media
function as a symbiotic partnership that profoundly influences
contemporary societies. A unique and significant volume in an
expanding pedagogical field, this diverse collection of
international, original, and interdisciplinary essays goes beyond
issues of representation to engage in scholarly conversations about
the web of networks that inextricably bind media and health to each
other. Divided into sections on film, television, animation,
photography, comics, advertising, social media, and print
journalism, each chapter begins with a concrete text or texts,
using it to raise more general and more theoretical issues about
the medium in question. As such, this Handbook defines, expands,
and illuminates the role that the humanities and arts play in the
education and practice of healthcare professionals and in our
understanding of health, illness, and disability. The Routledge
Handbook of Health and Media is an invaluable reference for
academics, students and health professionals engaged with cultural
issues in media and medicine, popular representations of disease
and disability, and the patient/professional health care encounter.
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

Over the past forty years, the health humanities, previously called
the medical humanities, has emerged as one of the most exciting
fields for interdisciplinary scholarship, advancing humanistic
inquiry into bioethics, human rights, health care, and the uses of
technology. It has also helped inspire medical practitioners to
engage in deeper reflection about the human elements of their
practice.
In "Health Humanities Reader," editors Tess Jones, Delese Wear, and
Lester D. Friedman have assembled fifty-four leading scholars,
educators, artists, and clinicians to survey the rich body of work
that has already emerged from the field--and to imagine fresh
approaches to the health humanities in these original essays. The
collection's contributors reflect the extraordinary diversity of
the field, including scholars from the disciplines of disability
studies, history, literature, nursing, religion, narrative
medicine, philosophy, bioethics, medicine, and the social sciences.
With warmth and humor, critical acumen and ethical insight, "Health
Humanities Reader" truly humanizes the field of medicine. Its
accessible language and broad scope offers something for everyone
from the experienced medical professional to a reader interested in
health and illness.
