This book is a new and outstanding contribution to understanding the working life of junior doctors. Here Dr Haida Luke uses a medical sociological framework to help us understand how young doctors fresh out of medical school enter the medical culture as junior doctors and begin the rapid professional education and intense enculturation processes. What sets Medical Education and Sociology of Medical Habitus apart from other works in this area is that it opens out the field of research in sociology and inserts junior medical doctor culture right into medical sociology and professional medical education. Central to this analysis are Dr Haida Luke's innovative use of Pierre Bourdieu's sociological framework and the concept of habitus. This volume challenges many of the myths of the medical cultural experiences and socialising forces that are an integral part of early medical training.

A sweeping and surprising new understanding of America's places of most extreme poverty, drawn from original data-driven research, from the authors of the acclaimed $2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America "This book challenges and enrages, humbles and indicts--and forces you to see American poverty in a whole new light." -- Matthew Desmond, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Evicted Three of the nation's top researchers known for taking on key mysteries about poverty deliver a new, multi-dimensional way of measuring deep disadvantage in every county in the nation as well as in its 500 most-populated cities. By turning the lens of disadvantage from the individual to the community, the authors uncover a surprising picture. Among the 100 most deeply disadvantaged places in the U.S., the majority are rural, many of them rarely if ever researched; only 12 are cities. Through engaged ethnographic research, deep historical understanding, and riveting storytelling, the authors paint portraits of places within the three regions of America they identify as actual "internal colonies" within our nation. In rural Leflore County, MS, in the Cotton Belt of the Deep South, we see residents living--and dying--with homicide rates as high as anywhere else in the nation. In Clay County, KY, where Big Coal once ruled, the social infrastructure is so eroded that residents say "there's nothing to do but drugs." In Crystal City in South Texas, a town still proud to be known as the "spinach capital of the world," cheerleaders revolt in response to white quotas and a legacy of unequal schools. The unfolding revelation in The Injustice of Place is what these regions have in common--a history of raw, intensive resource extraction and human exploitation. This history and its reverberations are facts, these acclaimed and engaged public scholars convince, that must shape a new War on Poverty, 60 years after LBJ's unfinished first one.

Medical Education and Sociology of Medical Habitus: "It's not about the Stethoscope " is a new and outstanding contribution to understanding the working life of junior doctors. Here Dr Haida Luke uses a medical sociological framework to help us understand how young doctors fresh out of medical school enter the medical culture as junior doctors and begin the rapid professional education and intense enculturation processes. What sets Medical Education and Sociology of Medical Habitus: "It's not about the Stethoscope " apart from other works in this area is that it opens out the field of research in sociology and inserts junior medical doctor culture right into medical sociology and professional medical education.
Central to this analysis are Dr Haida Luke's innovative use of Pierre Bourdieu's sociological framework and the concept of habitus. This volume challenges many of the myths of the medical cultural experiences and socialising forces that are an integral part of early medical training. Researchers in medical and educational social sciences whose research and teaching relate to issues of professional education, management, or research in health and medical sociology will find this work useful. Clinicians involved in medical education will also relate to the junior doctors' voices and will find the application of sociology to a medical clinical environment constructive.
