<p>Dear Colleagues, </p>

<p>The editing team at RHM Journal is thrilled to share that
issue 7.2 is now available! </p>

<p>Co-editors Cathryn Molloy and Kim Hensley Owens write in
their introduction titled “Weathering and Social Determinants of Health as
Powerful Topoi in RHM” that “the existence of weathering and SDOH urges us to
do more than simply argue that biomedical models of care could do epistemological  damage.” The editors encourage scholars to
continue to “mobilize work that operates at odds with the logics of biomedical
monoliths and the toxic topoi that allow them to perpetuate the idea that what
a person’s life looks like in terms of health and wellness is their own doing.”</p>

<p>This issue contains insightful articles addressing topics
such as stigma in psychiatry, breastfeeding education, legal rhetoric, research
methods and working with marginalized communities, and chronic illness narratives.

Queer and (Trans)formative Methodology for Rhetoric of Health and Medicine:
Institutional Critique.” Their conversation can be found here: <a href="http://medicalrhetoric.com/issue-7-1-interview-with-dr-ruby-mendoza/">http://medicalrhetoric.com/issue-7-1-interview-with-dr-ruby-mendoza/</a></p>
