If you would like to review one of these books, or if you have a suggestion of a book you would like to review that falls within the broad interests of SHI, please do get in contact with us. Please note that we are now only seeking to publish reviews of books published in 2015 or 2016 (but preferably 2016). Books reviewed can be monographs or edited collections but SHI does not typically publish reviews of methodological books or textbooks.
We welcome reviewers at any stage of their career, from a variety of disciplines associated with medical sociology (including anthropology, psychology, geography, history, medicine, nursing etc.). If you would like to review a book in the future, do contact us and say what topics you are interested in so we can add you to our database. If you have any further questions, email us at [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]
Thanks for your time and we look forward to hearing from you!
Kind regards,
Rebecca Dimond and Gareth Thomas
