Studies in the Social History of Medicine: Medicine, Society and Culture






Introduction

Studies in the Social History of Medicine was a well-established series of the Society for the Social History of Medicine from 1987-2007. We are pleased to announce our new partnership with Pickering & Chatto. The mission of the series is to provide an outlet for high-quality research that embodies the Society’s commitment to the inter-disciplinary study of health, disease, and medical care in the past.

Until recently, the series concentrated on collections of essays. Organized around selected themes, these volumes often but not always arose from SSHM conferences and were subsequently developed by their editors. The series will continue to include works of this nature.

In 2001, however, the Society decided in conjunction with the publisher to accept single-authored monographs and a second editor was appointed with responsibility for this initiative. Both the current editors welcome proposals for prospective additions to the series.

New Editor

Dr. Keir Waddington has been appointed monographs editor for Studies in the Social History of Medicine, replacing long-time editor Dr. Ornella Moscucci. Dr. Moscucci will see through her current projects.

Proposals for monographs should go to Dr Waddington.


How to submit a proposal

The Editors of the series welcome formal proposals and initial enquiries for book proposals. Proposals should be at least six pages in length and between 15 and 20 pages if sample material is not available.

However, the editors encourage the submission of a brief preliminary enquiry. Please send your enquiry on edited volumes to Dr David Cantor and on monographs to Dr Keir Waddington (addresses as below). An initial response can then be requested to test the water.

For your formal proposal please see Pickering & Chatto's submission guidelines.
