Aims & Scope

The Journal of Medical Humanities is a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal that publishes innovative research, creative scholarship, poetry, essays, reviews, and short reports in the health humanities. Submissions to JMH should be oriented toward health humanities as a scholarly field, aiming to engage central questions, dilemmas, challenges, and imaginative opportunities that the health humanities offer. Readers are trained in a variety of disciplines, so submissions should avoid field-specific jargon. Readers also expect scholarship that is inclusive and attentive to social justice issues and scholarship, broadly construed.
