Palgrave Communications (https://www.nature.com/palcomms/ ) the open access journal from Palgrave Macmillan (part of Springer Nature), which publishes research across the humanities and social sciences, is currently inviting article proposals and full papers for a research article collection (‘special issue’) on ‘Anti-biosis? – Social and Cultural Inquiries into Human-Microbe Relations’: https://www.nature.com/palcomms/for-authors/call-for-papers#Anti-biosis.
This collection is being edited by: Professor Steve Hinchliffe (University of Exeter, UK), Professor Clare Chandler (London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, UK), Professor Komatra Chuengsatiansup (Ministry of Public Health, Thailand), and Professor Helen Lambert (Bristol Medical School, UK).
As a pinnacle of twentieth-century medical innovation, one could argue that antibiotics, and more broadly antimicrobials, have fundamentally altered ways of life. The collection explores the phenomenon of antibiotic resistance from a variety of social scientific and humanities vantage points.
