Ecological Health is a newly emerging field of health studies which works at
the interface between human, animal and ecological health. You are invited
to publish in a cutting edge text in Medical Sociology on the topic of
Ecological Health which will bring together a novel collection of
initiatives, disciplines and examples of research at the vanguard of
integrated social studies of ecological health issues. This distinctive text
will serve as a reference tool for sociological analyses of the
interrelationship between society, earth systems and health; provide
methodological tools for conducting social science research that integrates
social, natural and medical systems; and showcase cutting edge empirical
research and innovative case studies on integrated health research from
around the world.
Papers addressing a wide variety of topics and approaches pertaining to
social health research on the links between ecological and human health are
invited which include, but are not limited to:
Historical research on ecology and health;
Inter/multi/trans-disciplinary health research conducted in the nexus
between social and environmental health determinants; Ecosystem approaches
to communicable and non-communicable health issues both in the Global South
and the Global North; Multiscalar approaches that link the molecular
through to the planetary; Climate change and human health; Medical
systems and institutions and their abilities to tackle the social and
ecological dimensions of health issues; Innovations in policy formation
relating to ecology and health; Theoretical, methodological, and practice
based insights emerging out of traditions ranging from social theory through
