Medicine Anthropology Theory

Aims & Scope

MAT is grounded in the comparative and ethnographic traditions of medical anthropology but encourages engagement with cutting-edge thinking from other disciplines within the social sciences and humanities. It seeks to bring researchers with diverse theoretical and political positions into conversation with one another and encourages authors to tackle major current debates, challenges , and events related to health and medicine. Our goals are to provide timely access to original research ; to generate new thinking about the relationships between society and medicine ; and to publish experimental, accessible , and engaging academic content that pushes the frontiers of academic writing. MAT is committed to open access publishing as the best means of ensuring that academic debates are inclusive and open to new ideas and that important research reaches the broadest possible international readership across disciplines and publics. As academic publishing moves towards an open access future , MAT is committed to building structures and ways of working that are accessible, inclusive, fair, ethical, and sustainable.
