The past, present, and future orientation allows both those new to RHM and those experienced in the field to understand the scholarly frameworks that guide the work of RHM and how these frameworks can address and ameliorate complex problems related to communicative dimensions of health and medicine. The handbook has six thematic sections that help guide readers to some of the main lines of inquiry within the field: Patient Agency and Health Advocacy, Health Inequities and Resistance, Reproductive Health, Biomedical and Clinical Medicine, Public and Global Health, and Health Technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will be of interest to students and scholars of rhetoric and writing studies, technical and professional communication, women’s and gender studies, critical disability studies, and the health humanities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLisa Melonçon\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor of Technical Communication and Chair of the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies at Clemson University, USA.
