Call for Proposals: Genetics and Society
This is a call for proposals for book chapters to be included in the 2015 volume of the book series Advances in Medical Sociology. Chapters may be empirical contributions or critical commentaries, will be peer-reviewed, and may be between 5,000 and 10,000 words. The volume will focus on issues surrounding the intersection of genetics and society. Genetic technologies, research, and explanations for health and behavior have rapidly infiltrated the scientific community and popular culture. Genetic information and treatments tailored to individual genomes are often portrayed as a panacea for the future of health care. This volume will provide a critical examination of social and biomedical approaches to genomics. In addition, the volume will highlight important epistemological and ethical issues which must be confronted to leverage genomics for improving population health. If interested in contributing, please submit a one-page proposal detailing the purpose, methodology/approach, findings, implications and originality/value of the paper. Proposal are due no later than February 20, 2014. Please send these to Brea L. Perry, Series and Volume Editor, at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
