Call for Papers (working title) Women, Wellness and the Media, an edited volume by Margaret Wiley

How do the media frame our ideas about women’s health? What is healthy and what is diseased is often determined by the tangled discourses of religion, aesthetics, consumer capitalism and scientific research. This volume will interrogate the way these various discourses impact perception of sickness and health in women. I am looking for critical papers including, but no limited to, the following:

• Women and AIDS
• LGBT health care issues
• Plastic surgery
• Minority female health care
• Pregnancy
• Aging Women
• Bitch Magazine
• RU-486
• Health and adolescent girls

One page abstracts of these or any other pertinent topics regarding women, wellness and the media are due Aug 15, 2006. Completed papers will be due Jan. 10, 2007.

Please send a 250 word abstract and a one page bio via email to: mwiley@colby-sawyer.edu
