Call for papers Ethnicity, health and health care: understanding diversity, tackling disadvantage. Proposals are invited for contributions to the thirteenth monograph in the series to be published by Sociology of Health and Illness in conjunction with Blackwell Publishers. The monograph will explore the sociology of ethnicity, 'race' and religion in relation to health, health care and illness. Contributions could address the following themes:Continuity and change in debates on ethnicity, health and health careThe implications of national and international political and economic realities for health and health care provision to minority ethnic groupsThe relevance of demographic changes, social mobility, cultural change and regional and international migratory flows for health and health careQuantitative and qualitative explorations of health and health care beyond simple inter-ethnic comparisons and including the experiences of settled and new minority ethnic groups, refugees, asylum seekers and trafficked peopleThe monograph will appear both as a regular issue of the journal and in book form. We anticipate that most papers will report original empirical research, although we also welcome innovative theoretical and conceptual work. We are keen to receive contributions from an international range of researchers. Potential contributors should send an outline proposal of up to 800 words by November 30th 2005 to Waqar Ahmad, Middlesex University, Trent Park, Bramley Rd, London, N14 4YZ, United Kingdom, e-mail: [log in to unmask] fax (+44 (0)20 8449 0798.

Proposals will be reviewed and the outcome will be notified by January 14th 2006. Authors whose outlines are shortlisted will be invited to submit an article of 6000 to 7000 words by July 1st 2006.
