JULY 16-19, 2020
GRAPHIC MEDICINE IN/DURING TROUBLED TIMES: HEALTH, SOCIAL JUSTICE and HUMAN
RIGHTS

#GraphMed2020

The 2020 Graphic Medicine conference aims to encourage critical dialogues
and interventions in/during troubled times with a specific emphasis on
social justice and human rights. This year’s theme seeks connections
between health, equity, and justice in an era of rapid ecological and
societal upheaval. We invite submissions that address the relationship
between health and such upheavals, as revealed through comics in its many
forms (e.g. graphic novels, memoir, comic strips, manga, mini comics, web
comics). Presentations are invited that explore the following themes (as
well as others that are not listed):


   - Social determinants of health
   - Environmental racism and slow violence
   - Institutional racism and other forms of structural violence
   - Queer health
   - Food insecurity
   - Securitization of borders
   - indigenous health and healing
   - Patriarchal medicine
   - Prison justice
   - Opioid crisis
   - Care work and disability justice
   - Migrant and refugee rights
   - Market capitalism
   - Health care access



*Proposals should be submitted by January 31st, 2020 to:
graphicmedicine2020 at gmail.com <graphicmedicine2020 at gmail.com>*
Abstracts will be peer-reviewed by an interdisciplinary selection
committee. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be completed by the
week of March 15.

While we cannot guarantee that presenters will receive their first choice
of presentation format, we will attempt to honour preferences, and we will
acknowledge the receipt of all proposals.

Please note: Presenters are responsible for costs associated with their
session (e.g. handouts and supplies) and personal expenses (travel, hotel,
and registration fees). All presenters must register for the conference.
Discounted rates and some limited scholarships will be available for
students, artists, and others in need.


*Proposals should be submitted no later than January 31st, 2020!*
