The field reflects many intellectual interests and practical applications, serving researchers, educators, students, health care practitioners, and community members wherever health and wellness and the humanities intersect.

“In this ambitious collection, a diverse range of inclusive and international authors and practitioners offer a visionary approach to existing and emerging Health Humanities applications, making compelling case as to how the arts and humanities knowledge and practices can inform and transform healthcare, health and well-being. Through an intersection of interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary lenses, this book traverses the organic nature of the Health Humanities as an evolving intellectual pursuit with ever-expanding practical applications. The collection’s scholarly contributions are further strengthened through innovative research paths that range from pedagogical applications of the health humanities to the creative process, to disability and ableism, social media and health, and graphic medicine. Despite the eclectic range of disparate approaches, the essays are inextricably bound by the social, cultural, and historical complexity of health as it affects individuals and societies.” (Nat Hardy, Ph.D., M.F.A, F.R.S.A.
