Call for Papers
Social Science & Medicine
Special Issue
Sociology of Diagnosis: Negotiation, mediation and contingency
Guest Editors
Annemarie Jutel and Sarah Nettleton
Social Science and Medicine is calling for papers for a special issue on the
sociology of diagnosis to be guest edited by Annemarie Jutel and Sarah
Nettleton. Papers may focus on diagnosis as classification or as process;
on professional or lay-diagnosis; on the micro and macro levels of
diagnosis; or on any other aspect of the social framing or consequences of
diagnosis.
This special issue will provide the opportunity to crystallise discussions
and forge an innovative strand of work within the sociology of health and
illness, and engage pertinent sociological questions such as:
• What constitutes a diagnosis?
• How is diagnosis negotiated within the clinic?
• How do structural variables such as gender, ‘race,’ age, and class
permeate the diagnostic process?
• What are the social and experiential consequences of ‘expert’ and ‘lay’
diagnoses?
• How do lay people identify and communicate diagnoses?
• How, and/or to what extent, do market forces contribute to the fabrication
and dissemination of a diagnostic category?
• To what extent are diagnoses contested, challenged and or politicised?
• What are the drivers and the consequences of innovations in diagnostic and
predictive technologies?
• Will diagnosis have a different place within the surveillance medicine of
an increasingly risk-based social context?
The deadline for submission is 30th June 2010 and papers should be submitted
here http://ees.elsevier.com/ssm/. When asked to choose an Article Type,
authors should stipulate “Special Issue Article”, and in the ‘Enter
Comments’ box the title of the Special Issue should be inserted, plus any
further acknowledgements. All submissions must meet the Social Science &
Medicine guide for authors which can be found on the above website.
