SIX awards of £600 for PhD students to attend the 5th US-UK Medical Sociology Conference,
18th-20th June 2015. Reykjavik, Iceland.
The 5th US-UK Medical Sociology Conference will take place in Reykjavik, Iceland and focus on how cross-national research and collaboration can advance our understanding of health, illness, and healing. Topics will include experience of illness, health disparities, professions, health policy and mental illness. Our objective is to encourage and advance conversations about health across national boundaries, and to allow medical sociologists at different stages in their careers to exchange ideas and potentially formulate collaborations. The conference brings together graduate students, junior and more senior faculty in an environment that highlights informal conversation and exchanges of ideas. The emphasis of this conference is interaction and intellectual exchange, therefore the conference is limited to 100 participants and is organized to maximize interaction and the possibilities for exchange.
We wish to increase participation of UK post graduate students and early career researchers in international medical sociology. This is a unique opportunity to interact with a wide range of faculty and fellow students interested in medical sociology and to develop sustainable networks capable of mobilizing knowledge transfer and exchange in medical sociology. Individuals can join two workshop streams around themes of experience of illness, health disparities, professions health policy and mental health. The workshop themes are:
Chronic illness and the illness behavior
Cross-national health inequalities
Crime and health
Gender and health
Genetics
Global health
Health and illness behavior
Health care systems
Health policy
Medical ethics
Mental illness
Professions
Race, ethnicity and health
Social class and health
