With impeccable timing, Nursing Inquiry has just published a special issue on critical posthumanism and it is stacked with friends of In Sickness & In Health. Many of them will be in Auckland in three weeks time to present at ISIH 2024.
Rochelle Einboden, Dave Holmes, Trine Larsen, Annie-Claude Laurin, Patrick Martin, Trudy Rudge, and Pier-Luc Turcotte are, or have been, intimately connected to ISIH as presenters and organisers, and Jess Dillard-Wright featured in June last year in one of the ParaDoxa 5-4-1 interviews.
Here’s a link to all of the papers in the issue, which gives a good flavour for cutting edge thinking in critical posthuman healthcare — one of the most vibrant fields in healthcare philosophy and sociology today.
In her introduction to the special issue, Sally Thorne described being ‘captivated by the interpretations of a stellar group of scholars’, suggesting that she is;
‘[T]ruly excited by the direction of thinking toward which this collection of papers takes us, and I hope that the arguments put forward by these authors will inspire the next generation of nurse scholars to press beyond that which has traditionally been considered the domain of nursing theorizing and philosophizing and into this much larger and more complex world of embedded ideologies and impacts. It is a world within which I believe nursing has much to offer’ Link
