This call is open to people from all fields, disciplines, backgrounds, and futures. We understand burnout manifests in a diversity of experiences – whether medically recognised or not. Therefore, we are open and welcoming to all forms, degrees, stages, familiarities, and encounters of burnout, including but not limited to: ➤ Personal experiences of burnout. (self- or bio-medically diagnosed, recognition from non-Western traditions and practices, interventions-by or relations-to a workplace, etc.) ➤ Experiences and feelings of the immanence of burnout. ➤ Observations or bearing witness to experiences of burnout in loved ones, communities, workplaces, institutions, social or common environments. ➤ Artists, writers and researchers working with the topic of burnout. ➤ Explorations and experiences of forms of burnout not conditional to the term ‘occupational syndrome,’ such as parental burnout, immigrant burnout, unemployment burnout, activist burnout, and caregiver burnout.

Number of Participants

We encourage work that is transdisciplinary, genre-defying, and intersectional. Collectives, collaborators or individuals may apply. If you wish to be paired with a collaborator to bring your idea to life, we can organise this. Also, if you are interested in submitting a piece of finished work for the deadline and would like support in realising your idea, please get in touch. The size of the publication is not fixed, therefore we will adapt to the number of submissions received.
