> Ecological Health is a newly emerging field of health studies which works at the interface between human, animal and ecological health. You are invited to publish in a cutting edge text in Medical Sociology on the topic of Ecological Health which will bring together a novel collection of initiatives, disciplines and examples of research at the vanguard of integrated social studies of ecological health issues. This distinctive text will serve as a reference tool for sociological analyses of the interrelationship between society, earth systems and health; provide methodological tools for conducting social science research that integrates social, natural and medical systems; and showcase cutting edge empirical research and innovative case studies on integrated health research from around the world.
>
> Papers addressing a wide variety of topics and approaches pertaining to social health research on the links between ecological and human health are invited which include, but are not limited to:
>
> -Historical research on ecology and health;
> -Inter/multi/trans-disciplinary health research conducted in the nexus between social and environmental health determinants;
> -Ecosystem approaches to communicable and non-communicable health issues both in the Global South and the Global North;
> -Multiscalar approaches that link the molecular through to the planetary;
> -Climate change and human health;
> -Medical systems and institutions and their abilities to tackle the social and ecological dimensions of health issues;
> -Innovations in policy formation relating to ecology and health;
> -Theoretical, methodological, and practice based insights emerging out of traditions ranging from social theory through to post normal science and complexity theory as applied to social studies of health;
> -Sustainable development and health;
