Out now - Healthpunk Vol 2

Free download of the latest in stories from CPN members and many others

'Tis the season to imagine new ways forward for more ecologically and socially responsible healthcare futures! One year after the publication of Physiopunk Vol 1, we are happy to share Healthpunk Vol 2: Fiction + Healthcare + You: A collection boasting 10 Healthpunk stories written by diverse healthcare students, academics, teams, and indigenous leaders in over four different languages from around the world, in addition to four commentaries, two editorials, and a prologue to open the entire volume. 

Putting together Healthpunk Vol 2 has been nothing but a joy and privilege yet again and we certainly hope you will enjoy its reading just as much. It has been wonderful to read all the stories that were submitted to the volume and work with the many diverse authors and commentators that have contributed to this volume, including occupational therapists, physiotherapists, EcoHealth students, Ph.D. students in health and society, critical healthcare scholars, political economists, public health scholars, indigenous leaders, bodyworkers, speech and language pathologists, and the list goes on.

And how else would we work but together and across all sorts of disciplinary and sectorial boundaries given the complex social, environmental, and health challenges we are facing today? The work that has been done for Healthpunk Vol 2 is some of the most difficult, yet some of the most pertinent: The imagining of futures that not only challenge the status quo but help us see and navigate toward possibilities for more ecologically and socially responsible Eco/health/care futures.

Now it is over to you, dear readers, to take the journey with us over to that other side that this new collection of healthpunk stories is steering us toward. We hope you will enjoy the ride, and maybe take a few others along with you!

Healthpunk Vol 2: Fiction + Healthcare + You is available for reading and download here, free of charge here.
