Call for contributors: Edited collection on Medicine, Psychiatry and Sexual Violence
We are seeking to commission chapters for an edited collection on the role of medical professionals in debates about sexual violence, to be submitted to Palgrave Macmillan’s peer-reviewed Sex and Sexualities Series. We have already received proposals for contributions from a range of scholars, however we are particularly interested in commissioning work from scholars working on the Global South, to ensure that the collection has breadth as well as depth of coverage.
