Subject: Charting New Territories in Discourse Analysis Across Health Contexts

We would like to invite interested authors to submit chapter proposals
for an edited book, entitled Charting New Territories in Discourse
Analysis Across Health Contexts. We intend to submit this collection
of chapters for publication in the book series Routledge Studies in
Language, Health and Culture.

While many excellent volumes of research on health related discourse
are available, social practices related to health and illness are
constantly changing along with broader social developments such as
globalization of healthcare, evolution of medical sciences and
sub-specialisations, digitalization of society and post-pandemic
changes. The shift of social life into digital spaces has led to new
modes of healthcare delivery, such as teleconsultations, online
medical consultations and remote medical procedures, as well as a
diversity of modes in which people make sense of, express, and seek
information and support for their health and well-being. Moreover, as
health continues to be a key concern worldwide, researchers in various
linguistic and cultural contexts are increasingly recognizing the
value of discursive approaches in contributing evidence to advance
healthcare. In addition to applying familiar approaches, such as
conversation analysis and corpus-based discourse analysis, researchers
are adapting discourse approaches into novel methodologies to achieve
the aims of their interdisciplinary studies. Thus, new territories of
discourse research in healthcare are being formed.

With this edited collection, we aim to extend the scholarship in the
area of healthcare discourse by focusing on the less-explored, in
terms of clinical context, patient groups, discourse types, methods
and approaches, as well as scholarly voices. We intend for this book
to be a diverse collection of studies that provide brand-new  insights
into a range of multicultural and multilingual healthcare practices.
We hope to include contributions from researchers in various
geographical contexts, particularly those working with digital data,
less-represented languages, understudied clinical contexts and novel
methodologies across different strands of discourse analysis.

The proposed book design is as follows:
Section 1: Analysing Doctor-Patient Talk in Less-Explored Clinical
Contexts
Section 2: Health Discourse Research involving Vulnerable Communities
Section 3: Innovating Research Methods in Health Discourse
Section 4: Discourse-Based Research in Health Interventions and
Rehabilitation
Section 5: Social Practices of Health and Wellbeing in Digital Spaces
