This groundbreaking book explores the development of health law as a field of academic study in the UK. Drawing on the diverse expertise of leading scholars in the field, it examines health law’s disciplinary boundaries, research methods and relationships with other academic disciplines.
Mapping the discipline of health law, contributors identify the significant challenges that health law faces today and suggest how these can be overcome. Chapters provide an in-depth analysis of the co-constitutive relationship between the development of health law and other legal disciplines, such as tort, criminal, public, and family law, as well as areas of study spanning sociology, anthropology, and science. Authors examine the synergies framing health law and question common assumptions about its provenance and future trajectories, adding an epistemological dimension to these discussions.
Presenting new theoretical and methodological understandings, this book is a valuable resource for those working in health law itself and in related academic disciplines including medical sociology, medical history, anthropology and science and technology studies.
