Ananya Mukherjea announces a call for papers for a new volume of Advances in Medical Sociology, "Understanding Emerging Epidemics: Social and Political Approaches.” This volume will present sociological contributions to understanding emerging epidemics, their impact, the threats they pose, and their social and political contexts. Preference will be given to qualitative or critical work, but all submissions will be considered. Proposed papers may address a given disease or epidemic condition (MRSA, HIV/AIDS, malaria, autism, ADHD, depression, etc.); the concept of emerging epidemics (to what extent are they actually 'new?' is the current focus on viral epidemics warranted?); or social, media, institutional, and governmental responses to and management of epidemics, including specific policies. While much of the volume will focus on infectious disease, I would very much like to include articles considering psychiatric epidemics as well as analysis of the political consequences and cultural meanings of all epidemics. U.S., world, and comparative perspectives are all welcome as are a variety of analytical and methodological approaches. Please submit an abstract and brief (< 1,500 words) description of the proposed paper, along with name and affiliation (if any), to by 15 June 2008. Please e-mail any questions to the same address.
