Description



Book Synopsis




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.




Review Quotes




The first of its kind at the intersection of the titular fields, is a timely and welcome contribution to bridge the gap between medical, environmental, and literary-cultural studies. ... the medical-environmental humanities have its new reference guide for graduate students and scholars in the field.
Ecozon@: European Journal of Literature, Culture and Environment

This collection offers a crucial intervention at an urgent time. The pandemic has driven home the inseparability of human health and environmental health. The first to bring together the medical and environmental humanities in a global conversation, this book outlines how we might better align the health of the planet with the health of human minds and bodies.

This volume proves an invaluable addition to the study of narrative medicine and public health, and the links between the clinical and the ecocultural. With a fascinating array of cultures and approaches, the essays offer a full-belly intervention into the field.
