From debates between Brunonian, Hunterian, and Boerhavian conceptions of the body to indigenous and non-western practices, we invite scholarly essays that contest and complicate our understanding of the meanings, representations, and practices of health and/or medicine in the period.
This collection seeks proposals for 5,000-6,000 word essays that explore alternative conceptions, practices, and approaches to health in the long-eighteenth century. We expect that these essays will be accessible to a wide range of scholars from different disciplines and hope that they will be written in a way that makes them available to advanced undergraduate readers.
We particularly invite essays that explore:
Indigenous and non-western traditions of health and healing
Home remedies and homeopathy
Prosthetics and other technological developments for atypical bodies
Intersections of race, imperial networks, and health
Literary renegotiations of health, illness, and care
Please submit 300-400 word abs
Excited to be working with @miriamlw.bsky.social on this new collection. Please share and submit. #healthhums #c18 #histmed

In just three months, Israel's assault on Gaza has killed more journalists than any other war has managed in a single year.
But I'd be curious to learn how many of those other conflicts return any search results at all for the now common phrase "and his entire family".
