Call for contributions
Medicine Anthropology Theory (MAT) is an English-language, fully open-access journal that publishes original scholarly articles, essays, reviews, and reports related to medical anthropology, global health, and science and technology studies.
We invite authors to submit their essays to the Field Notes section. Field Notes focuses on the details of fieldwork, be it meticulous ethnographic descriptions, methodological quandering or tricky ethical situations. In addition, Field Notes is a space in which we encourage playfulness in terms of ethnographic writing, a place in which to try out a new ethnographic style, to hone one’s creative writing skills, or to publish those indelible bits of field research that just don’t fit anywhere else. Submissions should be forthrightly empirical and centred around a question that appeared during your fieldwork. The submitted pieces are only expected to have few, if any, citations. The word limit for a Field Notes piece is 3,000 words, though shorter submissions are encouraged too.
Papers may be submitted here: http://www.medanthrotheory.org/pages/author-guidelines/. Please contact Field Notes section editors Rosie Sims (rosie.sims[at]graduateinstitute.ch) and Lotte Buch Segal (lotte.segal[at]ed.ac.uk) with further questions, including if you have an idea for an essay but are not sure whether it fits with the section.
