Medicine Anthropology Theory
an open-access journal in the anthropology of health, illness, and medicine
Medicine Anthropology Theory – MAT – is a new, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal in medical anthropology, the anthropology of biomedicine, science and technology studies, and critical global health studies. MAT seeks to provide a forum for top-notch scholarship, engage ‘applied’ anthropologists and activists, and rethink classical anthropological theory in light of contemporary ethnographic research in biomedicine and health. The journal will be fully online and indexed. The first issue will be published this December.
Submissions are currently being accepted for the following sections of the journal: Articles, Book and Film Reviews, Think Pieces, Photo Essays, The Nightstand, Dissertations in Brief, and Tea ching Materials. Descriptions of each type of submission and manuscript guidelines are available at: www.medanthrotheory.org. Please send submissions and queries to: editorialinquiries@medanthrotheory.org.
