Call for Papers

Healing Narratives, Embodied Histories: Medical Humanities in South Asia

Animesh Roy and Bosudha Bandyopadhyay

Medical Humanities is an interdisciplinary field that examines the human dimensions of health, illness, and healthcare through the lens of literature, arts, humanities, and social sciences. It seeks to deepen understanding of medical practices by exploring how cultural, historical, ethical, and literary contexts shape healthcare experiences.

Dear colleagues,

We are seeking presenters for the panel, Network Imaginaries: Past, Present, and Future, at the next 4S conference (September 3-7, 2025, Seattle, WA, USA). We welcome papers of varying approaches that consider the origins, mobilizations, endurances, and evolutions of the network imaginaries underlying technologies and systems from the 19th Century through to contemporary transformations and promises. (See below for the full call and submission details.)

Proposals consisting of a short abstract (up to 250 words) will be accepted until January 31 via the official website of the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S).

In contemporary media and pop culture, the intersection of fatness, queerness, and neurodivergent signifies a crucial but inadequately researched domain of identity and representation. The representation of marginalised identities is becoming increasingly significant as cultural spaces continue to impact social norms and impact perspectives. Media and popular culture have the ability to either reinforce stereotypes or contest the status quo by emphasising varied, nuanced narratives. The comprehension of the intersections between neurodivergent, queer, and fat identities offers valuable insight into the lived experiences of numerous individuals, thereby promoting inclusivity and empathy in a society that frequently marginalises diversity.
