Thanks Congratulations to Professor Joanna Latimer who has been awarded the Foundation for the Sociology of Health and Illness Book Prize for the 'The Gene, The Clinic, and the Family: Diagnosing Dysmorphology, Reviving Medical Dominance'. http://www.britsoc.co.uk/groups/bsa-medical-sociology/foundation-for-the-sociology-of-health-and-illness-book-prize.aspx The winner was announced at the BSA Medical Sociology conference, and is awarded to the author or editor of a newly published book which has made a significant contribution to medical sociology/sociology of health and illness. Joanna's book documents her ethnographic study on dysmorphology. While some theorists argue that medicine is caught in a relentless process of 'geneticization' and others offer a thesis of biomedicalization, there is still little research that explores how these effects are accomplished in practice. In this book, Joanna - whose groundbreaking ethnography on acute medicine gave us the social science classic 'The Conduct of Care' - moves her focus from the bedside to the clinic. Against current thinking that proselytises the rise of laboratory science, Joanna shows how the clinic is at the heart of the revolution in genetic medicine.
