We are excited to announce a new feature of the journal: an online, open blog forum, to feature debate, opinion and conversations circulating around the many disciplines where health and social theory collide.
We hope the blog will provide a space for responses to content published in Social theory & Health as well short pieces on topics not yet explored by the journal.
The Editors are pleased to invite blog contributions from health sociologists, psychologists and economists and to practitioners from medicine, nursing and other allied disciplines. Blog post submissions should be sent to: grahamscambler@hotmail.com.
We invite you to enter the fray at https://socialtheoryhealth.wordpress.com/
See Professor Scambler’s introductory post here.
