Anthropology & Medicine is dedicated to publishing papers that examine medicine, health and illness in an anthropological context. This broad field reflects the journal’s commitment to interdisciplinary research on the interrelationship between culture and health. The journal publishes original papers, reviews, commentaries and debates within the broad framework of medical anthropology, for an international readership. In addition to usual recent book reviews, each issue of Anthropology & Medicine also includes The Canon, which features a reappraisal of a past text that may be considered unfashionably canonical, classical or at least of continuing interest in medical anthropology and cultural psychiatry. The journal also features regular guest edited thematic issues on contemporary topics. Please see the proposal guidelines here. Commentaries could be a statement of position by the author, response to a recent publication, or a standalone piece and does not need to be based on original fieldwork or research.
