SAMYUKTA : CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue on Health Humanities
Health Humanities emerged in the early 21st century as a critical response to the limitations of the biomedical model that shaped Medical Humanities. This interdisciplinary field highlights the role of empathy, narrative, and critical reflection in improving healthcare practices and outcomes. By engaging with diverse narratives and emphasizing inclusivity, Health Humanities fosters a more holistic, socially responsive, and equitable approach to health, illness, and care.
Samyukta Vol.10, no.2 (July 2025) is a special number dedicated to Health Humanities, with focus on critical engagements at the intersection of health and humanities. The number aims to include diverse perspectives on how sociocultural contexts, lived experiences, and disciplinary crossovers can inform our understanding of health and well-being.

- Disability Studies
- Empathy and Compassion in Medicine
