University of Toronto, July 16-19, 2020
#GraphMed2020 https://www.graphicmedicine.org/toronto-2020-conference/
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
