Introduction

This handbook delves into the innovative intersection of health and environmental humanities, capturing its multidisciplinary creative spirit by showcasing key concepts and tools, on-the-ground applications, and conversations.

The handbook captures the dynamism of the cross-disciplinary dialogue between these fields through a unique approach. It blends the elements of a traditional handbook with novel interventions.

The collection features academic pieces across three sections - Concepts; Methods; and Case studies. Each of these sections also includes short provocations and contributions from artists, practitioners, and activists in these fields, interspersed with conversation pieces.

The handbook will be a valuable resource for scholars in health humanities, medical humanities, and environmental humanities, as well as related disciplines such as history, literary studies, philosophy, anthropology, and geography.
