Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Tendon, the annual publication of JHU’s Center for Medical Humanities & Social Medicine, was established by a team of center doctoral and postdoctoral fellows in 2018. Since then, we have published six issues around interdisciplinary themes stemming from timely conversations in the medical humanities. Our “Reflections on Trauma” issue, published at the dawn of the pandemic, received notable mentions for both the content, aesthetics, and design of its single-batch print edition. Our planned issue for Fall 2024, “Rest,” has already garnered interest among our community of readers. With readership in the medical humanities, medicine, and arts world outside higher education, we estimate that we reach over a thousand readers with each issue. Since its inception, Tendon has served as the creative branch of medical humanities within JHU's center, bringing together in its pages interdisciplinary audiences and contributors, from narrative medicine, literature, and visual arts to social anthropology, medical sociology, and the history of medicine. Tendon is described as a key component of the recent “Rethinking Injuries” grant received from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and of the center’s activities at JHU.
