Call for Submissions: Emerald Studies in Critical Bioethics
The Emerald Studies in Critical Bioethics series invites proposals for monographs, edited volumes, and qualification works (including PhD theses).
The series focuses on bioethical issues arising from power asymmetries and social and technological transformations, covering topics such as digital health, public health, biomedical research, and AI. Contributions typically draw on perspectives including feminist, postcolonial, queer, social justice, or disability studies, and may come from disciplines such as bioethics, philosophy, sociology, STS, or public health.
Interested authors may contact Giovanni Rubeis (Giovanni.Rubeis@med.uni-greifswald.de), Lillian Omutoko (joyce.lillian@uonbi.ac.ke), Regina Müller (regina.mueller@uni-brem), or commissioning editor Viktoria Hartl-Vida (vhvida@emerald.com).
