Submission Guidelines: 

All literature and art forms can be seen as a commentary on science and medicine, if the reader/viewer chooses to see it as such

It is in pursuit of these perspective that we have chosen to build a database of reviews for our students and community.

All submissions must include the following:

  1. The review must include some focus on stories that intersect science and/or healthcare

  2. For book reviews, submissions should include a literary analysis based in either narratology or close reading

    1. Narratology refers to the practice of exploring narrative and focuses specifically on identifying narrator biases, diction, and structure of the piece (what does it mean if the story is written linearly? As an epistolary? etc.)

    2. Close reading refers to the act of focusing on the text itself as it informs the storytelling by establishing patterns or details that give insight into deeper meanings of the plot.

  3. For film and other genres, the submission should include references to the literature regarding theory or utility.

  4. For all, the review should include at least one reference to a clinical setting in which the concepts approached in the review can be used effectively
