Recent work in the mobilities literature has highlighted the
importance of thinking about mobility and immobility as a
continuum, where movement intersects with processes that might
entail episodes of transition, waiting, emptiness, and fixity. This
focus on stillness, things that are stuck, incomplete or in a state
of transition can point to new theoretical, methodological and
practical dimensions in social studies of medicine. This edited
volume brings the concept of immobility to the forefront of social
studies of medicine to explore how immobility shapes processes of
medical care and the theoretical and methodological challenges of
studying immobility in medical contexts. The authors in this volume
draw from a wide range of case studies across the globe to make
contributions to our current understanding of health, illness and
medicine, mobilities and immobilities. Chapter 2 "Lists in Flux,
Lives on Hold? Technologies of Waiting in Liver Transplant
Medicine" is available open access under a Creative Commons
