our collaborators and networks
CHCI Medical and Health Humanities Network
Sponsored by the Consortium for Humanities Centers and Institutes, the CHCI Health and Medical Humanities Network is one of the largest organizations forging new interdisciplinary networks and collaborations between campus, clinic, and community. Through the online Network, both scholars in the medical and health humanities and the general public will find directories of recent scholarship, projects, events and social media activity related to the field throughout the world. The PHIL is one of the Network’s affiliated institutions.
Princeton University
The PHIL works closely with the digital project, Art Hx: Visual and Medical Legacies of Colonialism, led by Professor Anna Arabindan-Kesson at Princeton University. Colby co-sponsored Art Hx’s first symposium in the spring of 2022 on art, medicine, and race, which was also the subject of related courses taught at Princeton and Colby that semester.
Health Humanities Consortium
In the spring of 2024, Colby became an institutional member of the Health Humanities Consortium (HHC), a professional organization that “promotes health humanities scholarship, education, and practices that focus on intersections among the humanities, arts and social sciences and health, illness, and healthcare.” Members of the PHIL have participated in the HHC’s annual conference.
