Medical Humanities: Languages in contact, Linguistic Justice, and
Health Equity
Editors: Covadonga Lamar Prieto, Ingrid Cobos López, Tirant lo Blanch
Description of the work:
Medical/Health Humanities is an interdisciplinary field that brings
together the humanities, social sciences, and medicine. This approach
aims to understand and address people's experiences with health,
illness, care, and medical practice itself from multiple perspectives.
Intending to guarantee access to healthcare for all, break down
language barriers, and protect citizens' rights regarding the
information they receive to manage their health, the notions of
linguistic and social justice and equity in healthcare are fundamental
to providing the community with informative and preventive tools that
meet their needs.
For all these reasons, this work aims to bring together research on
the medical or health humanities in general and on linguistic justice
and health equity in particular.
Thematic areas:
-       Medical or health humanities
-       Language, linguistics, and health
-       Translation and interpretation in the medical field
-       Linguistic justice
-       Health equity and accessibility
