Call for Papers: Special Issue of the journal Health
SOCIETY, ENVIRONMENT AND HEALTH
Deadline for papers: 15 January 2018
Date of publication: Jan/Feb 2019
The call for papers (CfP) for the special issue of
the journal Health invites submissions of papers that
explore social processes involving environment and
human health. Our objective is to produce an issue
of the journal comprising research articles at the
cutting edge of social analysis of the interactions
between environment and human health.
The interactions between the natural environment
and human health increasingly have become the
focus of social analyses and scrutiny, and are the
subject of national and local policy initiatives around
environmental protection and sustainable
development. Social research has shown how
human health may be threatened by environmental
factors, such as air or water pollution and by climate
change impacts, such as flooding and heat waves.
Meanwhile, improvements in health threaten the
environment through population growth, greater
longevity of life, and health technology
developments.
Research further indicates how improving the
environment can enhance human health, for
instance through clean water and food security, while
initiatives can also reduce the environmental impact
of health care, such as preventing run-off from
pharmaceutical production. There has been
increasing interest in 'co-benefits' associated with
programmes designed to address environmental
issues, for example, energy efficiency schemes
having positive effects upon health.
Papers are invited that address one or more of the
following:
* Social theories of environment and human health
and/or wellbeing.
* Climate change and human health.
* Human rights, environment and health.
* Environment and public health
* Public policy and/or governance on health and
environment
* Beyond human impacts: rethinking environmental
health.

Papers may be submitted electronically from 14 July
2017 until the deadline of 15 January 2018 to the
