“…By providing a database of translational projects and descriptions of the methods employed in each, 'Translational Humanities for Public Health' presents a set of techniques for using digital tools to integrate humanities methods into the fields of health and medicine, thereby advancing work in the emergent field of 'digital health humanities' (Ewing and Randall 2019;Ostherr 2019a). Moreover, the site builds on digital humanities scholarship that argues, 'the design of infrastructure, when it engages critically with existing thought about power, represents a form of scholarly argumentation' (Guldi 2020).…”

This essay argues that emerging forms of translational work in the field of medical humanities offer valuable methods for engaging with communities outside of academic settings. The first section of the essay provides a synthetic overview of definitions and critical engagements with the concept of ‘translation’ in the context of medical humanities, a field that, in the wake of the COVID pandemic, can serve as an exemplar for other fields of the humanities. The second section explains the ‘data/narrative’ divide in medicine and health to demonstrate the need for new translational methodologies that can address this nexus of concern, particularly in collaboration with constituencies outside of academic settings. The third section maps out the sites and infrastructures where digital medical humanities is poised to make significant translational interventions. The final section of the essay considers data privacy and health ecology as conceptual frameworks that are necessary for bridging the data/narrative divide. Examples are drawn from the ‘Translational Humanities for Public Health’ website, which aggregates projects worldwide to demonstrate these emerging methodologies.
