> CALL FOR PAPERS
>
> *Communication in Healthcare Settings: Policy, Participation and
> New Technologies*
>
> Edited by: Alison Pilnick (University of Nottingham), Jon Hindmarsh
> (King's College London) and Virginia Teas Gill (Illinois State
> University).
>
> Proposals for papers are invited for contributions to the fifteenth
> monograph in the series to be published by Sociology of Health and
> Illness in conjunction with Blackwell Publishers. The monograph
> aims not only to build on the existing foundations of interactional
> research in medical sociology but also to broaden the scope of this
> field by featuring studies involving a varied range of healthcare
> professionals and a wide range of healthcare delivery sites. The
> volume will focus on the following themes:
>
> * The use of new technologies in healthcare interaction.
> * Participants' orientations to new healthcare policies and
> procedures and the way in which policies are (or are not) talked
> into being.
> * Professional/client interaction in professions allied to
> medicine.
> * Interaction between clients with communication disorders and
> healthcare workers.
> * Interaction in healthcare education and training.
>
> The 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 and from
> young scholars in the field who are currently establishing their
> research reputations. Those working in social science
> disciplines cognate to medical sociology are also encouraged to
> participate.
>
> Potential contributors should send an abstract of up to 800 words
> by October 30th 2007 to Alison Pilnick
> ([log in to unmask]).
> Informal email enquiries prior to submission are welcomed by all
> editors ([log in to unmask]; [log in to unmask]). The abstract
> should provide a realistic indication of the content of the

> Name and institutional affiliation of author(s) should also be
> supplied, including full contact details of the main author.
