This is a call for proposals for Volume 20 of Advances in Medical Sociology, which will focus on reproduction, health, and medicine. Additional information about the aims and scope of the volume is provided below. Articles may be empirical contributions or critical commentaries, and may be between 5,000 and 10,000 words. Each volume of Advances in Medical Sociology takes a focused approach to one subject or area of research, similar to a journal special issue. All papers are rigorously peer-reviewed, and the series is abstracted and indexed by Scopus and SocINDEX. If interested in contributing, please submit a one-page proposal detailing the purpose, methodology/approach, findings, implications, and originality/value of the paper. Proposals are due no later than April 2, 2018. Please send proposals (in Word document format) and any queries to the Volume Editors at [log in to unmask]
Volume 20 Aims and Scope:
Sociologists of health and medicine have long attended to the matter of reproduction, from studies of the medicalization of pregnancy and childbirth to analyses of reproductive health care providers and their interactions with patients. More recently, research in this area has expanded to include a range of reproductive topics, methodological approaches, theoretical contributions, and attention to a multitude of reproductive experiences. “Reproduction, Health, and Medicine” comes at a cultural and political moment when reproduction and health studies are increasingly needed in order to reflect the lived realities of individuals as well as to inform health policy discussions. This volume aims to contribute to such discussions, and it seeks to capture the increasing diversity of scholarship on reproduction, health, and medicine as it offers innovative chapters to advance both our empirical knowledge base and theoretical insights into a key component of human experience and health-care utilization. This volume will highlight how reproduction interfaces with and implicates maternal and child health, women’s health, men’s health, and health policy formation—and how experiences of reproduction are shaped by culture, health politics, health care systems, gender, race, class, sexuality, and citizenship.
Potential topics may include, but are not limited to: pregnancy, pre-pregnancy care, childbirth, breastfeeding, contraception, abortion, miscarriage, assisted reproductive and new genetic technologies, reproductive health disparities, reproductive health services and workers, and reproductive health and social policy, as well as analyses that focus on stratified reproduction, reproductive health and reproductive justice, men and reproductive health, the (bio)medicalization of reproductive experiences/practices, reproductive risk, the cultural politics of reproductive health, bioethical issues in reproductive medicine, and international perspectives on reproduction and health.
