Anthropology & Medicine is an interdisciplinary journal which expands upon the growing theory and research linking anthropology with medicine. It publishes original papers and reviews within the broad framework of medical anthropology, for a world-wide readership. Whilst biomedicine continues to grow in its technological sophistication and a proliferation of disease categories, anthropology has extended its boundaries to embrace newer frameworks. The globalisation and politics of biomedicine, narrative approaches to illness, new reproductive technologies, indigenous African and Asian medicines, local critiques of professional healing systems, modern and post-modern identities of individual states and their impact on sickness, together with developments that link ethology and population genetics to medicine are examples of topics addressed by the Journal. Anthropology & Medicine seeks to establish a critical platform for this diversity and promotes a cross-fertilisation of concepts at the borderland of culture and medicine. The journal solicits original contributions that advance the field. These could include bold innovations in methods or significant newer findings. Original and critical review commentaries are also welcome. The journal does not accept routine ethnographies and standard health services research unless authors can argue otherwise.
