CALL FOR HEALTH JUSTICE ARTICLES, CREATIVE WRITING, AND ART
Health innovations rooted in cutting-edge technologies like CRISPR gene editing and AI are rapidly transforming healthcare, public health, and health service delivery. However, the relationship between health innovation and health equity—especially when innovation is narrowly defined as the use of emerging technologies—is complex and often problematic.
Our upcoming issue will delve into how technological innovations have, at times, exacerbated and deepened health inequities. Importantly, it will also discuss the significant potential of these innovations to enhance health and wellbeing when applied effectively and responsibly.
We are seeking articles written by movement leaders and practitioners in the field that lay out the current state of health innovations, concerns of those working in the field of health, and visions for a socially just, ethical, and responsible direction forward. We also welcome creative approaches to these topics.
Questions we would like you to consider: How can we use innovation as a tool to advance resilience, justice, and love? How can we ensure that technological innovations, which are often framed as good for humankind, are not in fact being used to further racist, sexist, capitalist, and/or authoritarian agendas?
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Articles showcasing thorough research, persuasive arguments, and fresh perspectives. (Word count: 800–3,000)
Creative writing—personal narratives, fiction, or poetry—that explores the intersection of health, equity, and innovation. (Word count: 800–1,200)
Art—drawings, paintings, or photography—that speaks to these issues and/or provides a vision for the future.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Our submission period closes on 30 September 2024.
NPQ will pay between $200 and $500 (depending on length/item) for all published submissions. NPQ will pay $50 for published art ($100 if selected for the cover).
Articles and creative writing submissions should be sent to healthjustice@npqmag.org as a Word doc. Please put “Health Justice 2024 Submission” as the subject line.
