[ATTW-L] Special Issue of Rhetoric of Health and Medicine Journal on Amplifying Racial Justice Work in RHM is Here!

[Rhetoric Healthmedicine]

Dear Colleagues,

We are thrilled to share that the latest issue of *Rhetoric of Health and
Medicine* journal is now available!

This special issue, “In Living Color: Amplifying Racial Justice Work in
RHM,” was compiled by guest co-editors, Drs. Veronica Joyner, Kimberly C.
Harper, and Maria Novotny. In the introduction, the authors contend that
“scholarship for racial justice in the pursuit of health equity must
support amplification of marginalized perspectives, actions that reflect an
acceptance of diverse perspectives, and accountability for those actions.”
