Extended CfP for Health Communication & Inclusivity

In response to several queries for extensions of the CfP for the
volume Healthcare, language and inclusivity, the deadline of the CfP
has been extended until the 31st August. We hope that this will make
it more manageable in this period. The CfP is copied below.

CfP: Healthcare, language and inclusivity
Over the past years, questions of Diversity, Equality and Inclusivity
(EDI) in healthcare have been highlighted in a number of national and
international health crises, not least the COVID-19 pandemic. The
envisaged volume, which will be submitted to the new Routledge series
on Studies in Language, Health and Culture, looks at both in- and
exclusionary practises in healthcare, the media and public discourse
surrounding it, as well as affordances of online health communication
globally focusing especially on contexts outside of the mainstream
English-dominant healthcare contexts, including (but not restricted
to):
- Who gets a diagnosis: are some social groups more likely to have
difficulties getting a diagnosis— e.g., more likely to be questioned
or not to be taken seriously?
- What gets diagnosed: are particular conditions more likely to be
difficult to get diagnosed—e.g., fibromyalgia, endometriosis…?
- Who gets listened to in consultation: are some social groups more
likely to be disregarded in consultation—e.g., are people assumed to
have cognitive difficulties included in doctor-patient interaction and
decisions, or do practitioners mainly address and arrange service
users’ needs with the carers?
- Health literacy assumptions and health literacy programmes in
traditional healthcare and in relation to eHealth, e.g., how are
demographic factors such as age, socioeconomic and cultural
backgrounds addressed in relation to health literacy? Which actions
are taken to promote health literacy among under-represented and
vulnerable populations?
- Public involvement in healthcare research: how does research in
healthcare and health communication account for the voices of
under-represented groups and those affected by the conditions studied?
- Raising awareness campaigns—examples of health communication
campaigns that have contributed to breaking taboos and developing
counter-narratives to conspiracy theories and ideologies that impede
equitable healthcare provision.
- Illness and recovery narratives in healthcare research—use of
first-person narratives to give voice to those affected by physical
and mental health conditions, affordances and perils (e.g.,
co-option).

Contributions are invited from a wide range of linguistic studies,
including quantitatively and/or qualitatively oriented discourse
analysis, lexicology, pragmatics, and multimodal studies. Abstracts
between 150-200 words should be submitted by 31 August 2023 to the
email address, a.musolff at uea.ac.uk.
