2020 International Health Humanities Conference (October 2020 in Tokyo)
I would like to announce that we are planning to host the 9th International Health Humanities Conference in October 2020 at St. Luke’s International University in Tokyo. We have been coordinating closely with Paul Crawford at the University of Nottingham, and the conference website is now live at the following link:

We are hoping to kick of the health humanities in Japan and in Asia with a bang, so I would be grateful for any questions or feedback of any kind you might have.
Warm regards,
