Call for Review Papers for Sociology of Health & Illness
Do you want to write a Review Paper for SHI?
Review Papers are a new and exciting feature of the journal.  Review Papers will provide a state-of-the-art overview of the literature and we anticipate these papers will provide valuable summaries for both teaching and research purposes.  The Editors of Sociology of Health & Illness are therefore seeking short (one-page) proposals from authors who would like to write reviews of either established or emerging areas in the field of the Sociology of Health & Illness.
