Health Care and the Humanities - Fall 2018
Searching for Reason and Accountability in Health Care
Humanities inquiries have been at times met with scorn from the hard sciences and from experts and practitioners in healthcare. While theoretical and ethical approaches in the humanities are often contested and at times inconsistent (just like any approach put forward in any discipline), they remain crucial for adequate and ethical practices in both medicine and care.
There are various foundations of human health, medicine, and care which are increasingly distrusted. The volume and accessibility of information does not necessarily hinder our clarity but, in an age of increasing resources and information, the ability to efficiently sift through and comprehend data is increasingly valuable. The process by which a humanities inquiry comes to positivistic and evidence-based conclusions aids in both knowledge dissemination and in encouraging trust in expert opinion and care. This creative, speculative, critical, and self-reflective type of inquiry can enable us to escape the rigid formulae of scientific methodologies and healthcare practices if these latter become too dogmatic instead of self-critical, or too materialistic instead of humanistic.
With the second issue of Con Texte, we aim to explore human healthcare and healthcare policies through the theoretical frameworks offered by the disciplines in the humanities such as philosophy, religious studies, cultural studies, literature, and music among many others. We seek full paper submissions (3,000 - 7,000 words) from scholars at all levels and seek a variety of theoretical positions, silenced opinions, thoughtful critiques, and strange perspectives about the value of the humanities.
Please send your submission to contexte.journal@gmail.com.
Submission Deadline: May 31st 2018.

Humane Resistance
Issue One - Fall 2017
This issue is available through OJS and Scholar's Portal. Submissions are closed, but we always accept papers on varying topics with a variety of perspectives. Please feel free to submit all completed work.
The Humanities as a Form of Resistance
The first issue of Con Texte, Laurentian University’s interdisciplinary humanities graduate student journal, will explore the various forms of text that ignite revolutionary forms of political and social resistance. Works should reflect the ever present need for political resistance as expressed through the humanities and emphasize the role and importance of text as a means of pedagogy, revolution, and reformation. When politics fall into dangerous and threatening forms, many of us have few alternatives for opposition. This edition will explore the importance of text in maintaining our sense of the world, creating culture and national identity, and centring our communities within their own power.
We are looking for submissions exploring a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:
• feminist literature, philosophy, and all other forms of text
• explorations of intersectionality in terms of art, literature and philosophy
• humour and satire as forms of political commentary
• explorations of empowerment for community and culture through humanities methods
• scholarly reflections on music, poetry and prose as forms of resistance
We invite submissions from scholars at all levels and seek a variety of theoretical positions, differing and silenced opinions, and strange perspectives about the value of the Humanities. Please send your submission to contexte.journal@gmail.com.
