Proposals for the Rhetoric of Health and Medicine (RHM) Symposium, to be held September 5-6, 2019 in Orlando, Florida, are due April 10. Potential categories, submission criteria, and instructions are available on the RHM website.
The symposium website explains that the event is “a mix of highly competitive, open-call papers and invited participants, which results in a diverse gathering of scholars (from graduate students to full professors) from a variety of disciplines and fields.”
Further, the site states that “the RHM symposium seeks to bring together humanities and social scientific research traditions in a rhetorically focused way to allow scholars to build new interdisciplinary theories, methodologies, and insights that can impact our understanding of health, illness, healing, and wellness.”
