This is a great opportunity for ECAs to gain experience in leadership, event organisation, and advocacy. We are a very nice bunch (🫶) and given the challenges in the field, it is more important than ever to have strong representation across different languages in the SIG! 💙
@katharinemurphy.bsky.social and I are very grateful to @cforsdick.bsky.social for wrapping up our takeover of @the-polyphony.bsky.social and for his generous words about the @readingbodies.bsky.social project 💙
Great to see this initiative! The Creative Health Research Round-Up 2025 includes The Burnout Booklet, created for @readingbodies.bsky.social with @oliviaglaze.bsky.social.
Feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions! These summaries are impact-led and a great way to increase the visbility of your research.
Happy to share that my piece - 'Languages, Medical Humanities and Policy: Intersections in Research and Practice’ - is out today on @the-polyphony.bsky.social as part of this week's @readingbodies.bsky.social takeover! thepolyphony.org/2025/10/21/l...
Exceptionally bleak, but painfully familiar.
As part of our Special Issue, I wrote my first article engaging with Disability Studies & crip theory (eek) and discovered the brilliant work of @sunaura.bsky.social, Élaina Gauthier-Mamaril & @kirstyliddiard1.bsky.social, among others. I couldn’t recommend their work more!

Thrilled that @katharinemurphy.bsky.social and my co-edited Special Issue is now out in the Journal of Romance Studies! 🎉 Huge thanks to our contributors across French, Spanish, Italian & Portuguese studies—showing the value of a multilingual approach to the Medical Humanities: tinyurl.com/mrxmznsm
In Part 4 of the @readingbodies.bsky.social takeover, @rocio.bsky.social discusses the colonial legacies of nineteenth-century medical metaphors and demonstrates their ongoing relevance for the present day.
