Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Medicina is devoted to how the humanities reflect on the growth and progress of medicine. Various urgent questions are relevant to the understanding of the role of health humanities on medical faculties, on humanities and social science institutions, and in the public debate. The intention of this Special Issue is to search for answers, albeit necessarily provisional and tentative, to questions like:
- What is the goal of health humanities? Is it to reform medicine? Is it to provide the academic community with good humanities research? Is it to empower the ill and oppressed?
- How are health humanities best taught in medical education and in other fields of education? Do we want many different models or would a certain uniformity be preferable?
- In which direction do we want health humanities to develop?
By looking at the situation in the countries bordering the Baltic Sea, we believe that a broad range of ideas and models might emerge that will stimulate critical reflection. We invite health humanities scholars from these countries to reflect on the above questions and provide their experience and perspectives. We hope that this array of perspectives may contribute to a lively and illuminating debate on the present situation and future of health humanities.
