Information For Authors

The Drew University Journal of Medical Humanities (DMH) will be published quarterly by graduate students in the Medical Humanities program at the Casperson School of Graduate Studies, Drew University. It is intended that from Issue no. 2, and beyond, DMH will alternate between a general issue and a thematic issue, one which will include publication of the proceedings of the annual Drew Symposium on Medical Humanities. The general issue will provide a forum for papers and discussions on various topics, arising either independently or in response to papers published in previous issues of the journal.

These nonthematic issues will, nonetheless, continue to pursue the general aim of seeking to explore the “integrated conception” of the medical humanities – that conception according to which the perspectives of the humanities and social sciences are regarded as belonging at the core of medical knowledge and the practice of new interactions in the healing arts. Such inquiry can emerge in the following ways:
(1) from the medical humanities, which includes literature, history and philosophy; (2) from bioethics as well as those areas of the social and behavioral sciences that have strong humanistic traditions.

Original, high quality papers on topics falling within this general aim are invited. The thematic issues will be announced at least two issues in advance of publication.
