IGI Global invites scholars and professionals to submit chapter proposals for the forthcoming edited volume titled Digital Communications at the Intersection of Human Mobility and Public Health: Narratives, Trust, and Identity. This book aims to critically examine how digital technologies shape health communication among mobile and often vulnerable populations in an era of increased displacement, climate crises, and digital transformation.
About the Book
Globalization, migration, and health emergencies have made it essential to understand the relationship between digital communication, mobility, and public health. This book explores how narratives, trust, and identity intersect in digital health discourse, especially for people navigating life across borders and systems. By examining how mobile populations interact with health information online, the volume seeks to highlight both the empowering and marginalizing effects of digital platforms.
