To our readers:

In light of upcoming holiday celebrations and university academic breaks, there will be no regular Wednesday posts to the blog through 2015 (12/23 and 12/30.) We look forward to the return of our weekly blog updates in January 2016, and encourage all of our readers to become acquainted with the new initiatives we have planned for CMP Social Media in the new year. You can learn more about our upcoming plans for the blog, our Twitter, and our Facebook accounts in this editorial update from the week of the AAA 2015 Annual Meeting.

We continue to invite our readers to consider submitting a guest commentary, post, or news piece to our blog. Details about these submissions can be found in the previous link to the editorial update. We are also pleased to feature books recently or soon-to-be published by our colleagues in medical anthropology, sociology, humanities, and social medicine. If you would like your book publication to be highlighted on our blog, you may submit information regarding book features to social media editor Julia Knopes at jcb193@case.edu.

Until we return to our weekly blog posts, we welcome you to read our latest installment of the journal (Volume 39 Issue 4, December 2015.) You can access the new issue and read abstracts of our recently published articles by clicking here.

Best wishes and Happy Holidays,

The Editorial Team at Culture, Medicine & Psychiatry
