Dear All,
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new medical sociology blog
'Cost of Living' http://www.cost-ofliving.net/ at the BSA Medical
Sociology Conference today.
The title 'Cost of Living' reflects the changing social and political
(as well as economic) costs that are associated with health, health care
provision and welfare in the 21st century.
It is aimed at all of those with an interest in the politics, economics
and sociology of health and health care. We will provide a vibrant mix
of topical comment pieces, analytical features, and contemporary
reviews, related to health, medicine and health care.
It is our intention that the blog should be accessible to as wide a
readership as possible. We are working in collaboration with the Medical
Sociology Group of the British Sociological Association to provide this
blog forum to enable engaged academics and members of the public to
comment and reflect upon issues of the day.
We believe that the strength of 'Cost of Living' lies in our unique
blend of interdisciplinary perspectives on issues of concern as related
to health and medicine (drawing together Sociologists, Anthropologists,
Media and Communication specialists, Historians of medicine, Economists,
Public Health professionals and others).
Our content will be informed by discussions of both enduring questions
in health (such as health inequalities in the UK/EU and beyond) and more
immediate concerns (such as ongoing policy processes and practices).
We welcome short, topical contributions (pieces should be between
350-1000 words) and those interested should consult the author
guidelines on the blog or contact one of the editors.
Please forward this message to other lists and individuals who may be
interested.
All the best,
Simon Carter
