Studies for the Society for the Social History of Medicine
Series Editors: David Cantor and Keir Waddington
Studies for the Society for the Social History of Medicine is concerned with all aspects of health, illness and medicine, from antiquity to the present, in all parts of the globe. Its interests include the circumstances that promote health or illness, the ways in which people experience and explain such conditions, and what, practically, they do about them. Practitioners of medicine, nursing, psychiatry, pharmacy, biomedical science and vernacular healing come within its ambit; as do hospitals and hospices, patients and politicians, priests and pill-pushers, wise-women and witches, and all concerned with medicine in its widest sense. Methodologically, the series welcomes approaches derived from social history, as well as relevant studies in economic, cultural, and intellectual history. It also seeks to encourage historical work that employs the insights of related disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, demography, and epidemiology, as well as literary, science, and policy studies.
The series is a collaboration between Pickering and Chatto and the Society for the Social History of Medicine (SSHM). The SSHM has pioneered interdisciplinary approaches to the histories of medicine, welfare, public health, demography, anthropology, sociology, social administration and health economics. Its membership is drawn from those interested in a variety of disciplines, including history of health, welfare, medical science and practice.
