Scope of the Series:
Growing criticism of the U.
S. healthcare system is coming from
consumers, politicians, the media, activists, and healthcare
professionals. Critical Issues in Health and Medicine is a
collection of books that explores these contemporary dilemmas from a
variety of perspectives, among them political, legal, historical,
sociological, and comparative, and with attention to crucial dimensions
such as race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, and culture.
Examples of topics that might be appropriate
include:
Health issues in illegal immigrant
communities in the U.S.
The influence of media campaigns on a
consumer's choice of prescription versus over-the-counter drugs
How gender affects medical education
The role of globalization on the U.S.
health system
The role of identity politics in health
activist communities
Journalistic accounts of racial disparities
experienced daily at a public clinic
