Call for Papers: JWIL Special Issue on Caribbean Health Humanities

For November 2027, we are planning an issue on Caribbean health humanities, edited by Jarrel de Matas and April Shemak, that will explore the connections between Caribbean literature, culture, and health. This special issue aims to facilitate an interdisciplinary bridge between literature and health outcomes to expand our understanding of the socio-cultural and historical dimensions of health and medicine in the Caribbean. Deadline for submission of abstracts is 30 May 2026. Please see the cfp here.
