*Brief description*
This special issue will address policies, processes and outcomes that
involve mobility (regional, national, bilateral, global) and healthcare.
The editors welcome papers that discuss interactions with the history and
profession of medicine, labour relations, and international inequalities,
and critical engagement with medical migration that gets beyond immediate
issues of securing staffing levels for national medical facilities to
include consideration of the gains (not just the losses) that can accrue to
developing countries from migration, especially how diasporas can magnify
the resources (human and otherwise) in their countries of origin, through
health work. Such advantage may be by means of remittances, investment,
human capital transfer, philanthropy and medical tourism, with flows of
expertise being potentially multiple, multi-directional and temporary,
virtual and/or in person.
Analyses of historical, policy, clinical, anthropological and sociological
material that interrogate the contested concepts of health, ethnic
difference and group identity in terms of global migration around
healthcare are of interest. We welcome abstracts proposing papers from
social and public health sciences, anthropology, literary criticism, human
resources management, development studies, history, theology and economics
as part of a critical multidisciplinary approach to the study of health
mobilities, broadly conceived.
To be considered for this special issue, send an abstract (max 400 words)
of a paper [log in to unmask] by 31st October 2013. Please
put ‘Special Issue’ in the subject line. The issue is due for publication
in 2016.
Author guidelines for the journal ‘Ethnicity and Health’ apply.
