Medical and Health Humanities is a new online journal dedicated to the intersections of medicine in the humanities. The journal was launched in 2017 by literary scholar Arden Hegele and physician Rishi Goyal. Hegele and Goyal both teach at Columbia University and share an interest in the medical humanities. This journal features contributions from scholars trained in a variety of disciplines, including English scholars, historians, neurologists, sociologists, and medical doctors. In one recently published article, English scholar Livia Arndal Woods argues that one can trace the legacy of Victorian novels in the way that the Fifty Shades of Grey novels depict pregnancy. In another recent essay, neurologist Sneha Mantri uses Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Never Let Me Go to consider creativity and empathy.
