This series of publications deals with all kinds of social anthropological relationships and conflicts in different societies and types of society. For example, this can encompass examining family relationships, social differences and structures, and power relations and conflicts between ethnic groups, big men and the societies they belong to. The studies in the series analyse concepts such as kinship, castes and ‘ethnoclasses’ (socio-cultural groups which in general have a low social status and which display ethnic characteristics that distinguish them as immigrants or descendants of immigrants) in the same critical depth as gender and nation building. It also welcomes studies from a variety of related fields such as ethnology, cultural studies and social geography, along with works written in different languages.

The series of publications is a forum for up-to-date empirical and theoretical studies on issues relating to the sociology of health and other subjects connected to it. These studies examine topics such as health and health-related behaviour, the effects of those issues on other areas of life, the health system, the medical profession and the doctor-patient relationship among many others.
