New series: DISABILITY HISTORY

This new series published by Manchester University Press responds to the growing interest in disability as a discipline worthy of historical research.

The series has a broad international historical merit, encompassing issues that include class, race, gender, age, war, medical treatment, professionalisation, environments, work, institutions and cultural and social aspects of disablement; including representations of disabled people in literature, film, art and the media. We welcome all proposals from a wide range of geographical locations and time periods.

Launch of Sociology and Social Worlds Series

Sociology and Social Worlds is a brand new series published jointly by Manchester University Press and The Open University. The series was launched last week at the annual CRESC conference at St Hughs college, Oxford.

Each of the three books in the series engages with a key theme to examine the ways in which social worlds are constructed and mediated. Each title is explained in more detail on the MUP website.
