Call for Papers

After suc­cess­ful con­fer­ences in Lis­bon (2016) and Tori­no (2018), the Mid-term Con­fer­ence of the Research Net­work of Soci­ol­o­gy of Health and Ill­ness, Euro­pean Soci­o­log­i­cal Asso­ci­a­tion (ESA RN16) will be host­ed by Jagiel­lon­ian Uni­ver­si­ty, the old­est uni­ver­si­ty in Poland. In mag­i­cal Kraków we will undoubt­ed­ly enjoy a fruit­ful, aca­d­e­m­i­cal­ly inspir­ing and engag­ing con­fer­ence. We will have a com­fort­able con­fer­ence venue, deli­cious and healthy cui­sine, beau­ti­ful his­tor­i­cal mon­u­ments, nice hotel base and a friend­ly, sup­port­ive atmos­phere. We plan to make the con­fer­ence full of inspir­ing pre­sen­ta­tions, rel­e­vant dis­cus­sions and live­ly net­work­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties. We are plan­ning a Spe­cial Issue of a jour­nal from the conference.

Health is one of the most impor­tant goods for indi­vid­u­als and soci­eties. That is why dis­cus­sion about health and health care should be treat­ed as cru­cial. The goal of our con­fer­ence is to gath­er togeth­er schol­ars who are con­duct­ing research in the field of health and health care. We are going to tack­le prob­lems of inequal­i­ties and focus on new oppor­tu­ni­ties for address­ing them. Soci­ol­o­gy has been con­cerned with inequal­i­ty from its very begin­nings. Inequal­i­ty means the uneven dis­tri­b­u­tion of goods. One of the most impor­tant goods is health, but social fac­tors such as edu­ca­tion, employ­ment sta­tus, income lev­el, gen­der, eth­nic­i­ty, and age influ­ence health sta­tus and access to care.

The task of pol­i­cy mak­ers is to reduce inequal­i­ties, which means giv­ing every­one the same oppor­tu­ni­ties to lead a healthy life. But the task for soci­ol­o­gists is to research and explain what does, or could, cause inequal­i­ties and to pro­pose solu­tions. We know that edu­ca­tion, employ­ment sta­tus, income lev­el, gen­der and eth­nic­i­ty and oth­er fac­tors have a great impact on life expectan­cy and qual­i­ty of life. In mod­ern Europe all these social fac­tors are fueled by migra­tion, polit­i­cal tribu­la­tions and the neolib­er­al econ­o­my. Val­ue crises, risk, and indi­vid­u­al­ism do not help. Devel­op­ments in med­i­cine, in med­ical tech­nol­o­gy and biotech­nol­o­gy, new treat­ments and new pro­ce­dures, and many oth­er things which become an oppor­tu­ni­ty to cure and care, can be a source of fur­ther inequal­i­ties. That is why involv­ing social sci­ence, in par­tic­u­lar soci­ol­o­gy, in the dis­course about health and health care is important.
