Hektoen International
Hektoen International, founded in Fall 2008, is an online journal that explores the interdisciplinary field of the medical humanities. The journal is named in honor of Doctor Ludvig Hektoen, a distinguished professor of pathology at the University of Chicago. Hektoen International features articles on the medical humanities from a wide spectrum of global and cultural perspectives as they relate to health, and healing.
We accept for consideration articles that explore medicine and the healing arts through the lens of the humanities, in such disciplines as history, art, anthropology, ethics, literature, philosophy, religion, and sociology. Send submissions to Rachel Baker at Rachel.baker@hektoen.org
The journal also maintains an online art gallery and library for archiving artwork and articles.
