If you would like to review one of these books, please get in touch. We cannot promise that you will get to review the book, as demand is usually extremely high, but please do let us know which ones you may be interested in reviewing. Because the books do get snapped up so quickly, we advise that you get in touch as soon as possible.
If you have a suggestion of a book you would like to review that falls within the broad interests of SHI, please contact us (but note that we are not seeking to publish reviews of books published before 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, contact us and say what topics you are interested in so that 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!
All the best,
