Atrium, which is one of the very best open-access ethics & medical humanities journals out there, has issued a call for submissions for Issue 8 (Summer 2010). Here is the Call:
ATRIUM Call for Proposals (Theme: "Happy")
Deadline for proposals: February 1, 2010
Article deadline for accepted proposals: March 15, 2010The theme for Issue 8 (Summer 2010) is "Happy." ATRIUM encourages potential authors to think creatively about broad interpretations of theme. For example: Does the concept of happiness have any relevance to medicine? How is pleasure a factor in medicine, illness, bioethics, or medical humanities? What's the role of emotion, affect, or the presentation of self? How should we define "patient satisfaction"? Are our students happy? Does it matter? What do you love about your work, where's the joy in medicine today? If you're not happy, what needs to change?
Proposals must be submitted by February 1, 2010. Proposals will be evaluated by February 15 and full articles for accepted proposals will be due by March 15, 2010.
