Call for proposals for the 16th Sociology of Health and Illness monograph
Proposals are invited for the sixteenth volume in the monograph series to be published by Sociology of Health and Illness in conjunction with Blackwell Publishers. The Board of the journal considers all proposals for the Monograph series at the first board meeting of each year. The monograph will be between 70,00 and 72,000 words in length comprising between 8 and 10 peer-reviewed papers and will appear both as a regular issue of the journal and in book form. The planned publication date is September 2010.
The proposal needs to contain the following elements.
1. Justification of the proposed topic in terms of its academic merits, how it fits into the monograph series and how links between medical sociology and other substantive areas will be established.
2. A statement of 3 or 4 themes that might be addressed and how these might be broken down into sub-themes.
3. Consideration of the proposal’s appeal to:
regular readers of the journal and to readers who might buy it as a book;
medical sociologists and to readers from sister disciplines;
sociologists from continental Europe, North America, the UK, Australia & New Zealand and the rest of the world.
4. Competitor publications should be noted and the distinctiveness of the proposal explained in relation to any such competition.
5. An account of how the call for papers would be advertised to reach a range of contributors to include junior and well established authors and international range of contributors.
6. A list of potential contributors who might be approached.
7. A short biographical note about the proposed editors.
Proposals can be discussed informally with the Monograph Editor (Hannah Bradby of the University of Warwick, UK: email: [log in to unmask]) before submitting the final document.
Finalised proposals should be sent to [log in to unmask] by March 14th 2008 and will be reviewed and the outcome notified by April 30th 2008.
