The Bloomsbury Handbook to the Medical-Environmental Humanities

Scott Slovic

0/5 ( ratings)

Bringing together two parallel and occasionally intersecting disciplines - the environmental and medical humanities - this field-defining handbook reveals our ecological predicament to be a simultaneous threat to human health. The book:

· Represents the first collection to bring the environmental humanities and medical humanities into conversation in a systematic way
· Features contributions from a wide range of interdisciplinary perspectives including literary studies, environmental ethics and philosophy, cultural history and sociology
· Adopts a truly global approach, examining contexts including, but not limited to, North America, the UK, Africa, Latin America, South Asia, Turkey and East Asia
· Touches on issues and approaches such as narrative medicine, ecoprecarity, toxicity, mental health, and contaminated environments.

Showcasing and surveying a rich spectrum of issues and methodologies, this book looks not only at where research currently is at the intersection of these two important fields, but also at where it is going.
