Subject: [SDOH] Fw: Good news and thanks - 'Health Inequalities: Critical Perspectives'


Dear All,



This is just a quick email to share some good news (esp for those who haven't already heard via Twitter) about our edited book, Health Inequalities: Critical Perspectives.  Last night was the BMA 2016 Book Awards and our book won first prize in the Public Health category.  The judges had considered hundreds of books and 12 were shortlisted in this category so we were pretty surprised to win (esp as ours seems the most political/critical).



Clare and I were there to accept the certificates but the critical perspectives featuring in the book and the engaging, accessible style in which it is written, both of which were praised by judges, are of course down to the contributions that you all made.  So thanks again for the work you put in to making this book happen (and special thanks to Sarah, currently in Prague, for co-editing work and Becky for help with the protracted copyright battles). I'm attaching a few pics and from the awards ceremony if any of you want a certificate (pic attached), we have plenty of copies to share so just let me know.



The book will now feature in the BMJ, and Oxford University Press will also be running features on it so it's a good opportunity to promote the book a bit more and Clare and I will be writing some blogs to help with this. If any of you fancy writing a short blog piece relating to your chapter, that would be great and we would be happy to help get it featured somewhere of you want - please just let us know if so (though fully understand that many of you won't have time!)



Thanks again.

Best wishes,
Kat

Subject: Admin Tasks for 'Health Inequalities: Critical Perspectives'


Dear All,



Firstly, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rebecca, I am a Social Policy Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Edinburgh, and I am presently assisting Dr Katherine Smith with the final stages of editing Health Inequalities: Critical Perspectives.



In the coming handful of weeks I will be getting in touch with you quite frequently in order to obtain information regarding you and your contributions.



Today, I attach the “Abstract and Keyword Form”, a document which you have undoubtedly already seen and filled in. As the deadline for completion of the book is nigh, however, I would ask that you check the abstract and keywords provided, ensure they remain suitable for the chapter submitted, and make any necessary amendments/additions. As you will see, the abstracts are ordered by chapter number.



If you could return the completed form to me before Tuesday 23rd September 2014 (a week from today), I would be very grateful. When responding, please do indicate which chapter is yours - particularly if you have been involved with more than one submission. If you do not plan to make any amendments, please do inform me so I know not to badger you!



Additionally, I would ask that all contributors provide me with their up to date job title, institutional affiliation and name as they would like it to appear, as well as a short autobiography (no more than 125 words). These details will appear in the contributors list. Again, if you could do this by Tuesday 23rd September 2014 I would be most grateful.



If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. I cannot guarantee I will know the answer to your question immediately, but I can assure you I will always do my utmost to find out what it is!



Your Sincerely,



Rebecca Hewer
